Hi,

I just reinstalled my windows XP pro with Office XP and now when I try to
access my pst file it only show me "deleted, journal, calendar, sent and
notes" and the only folder that have any data in' it is "sent mail folder"
!!! I know that I made a successfully pst file before a reinstalled my
computer and know it's seems that a lot of work have disappeared. I had
around 20/folders in this pst file but nothing is show up!

Is their anyone how had the same problem please let me know how you did to
solve the problem!

Looks to me like you opened your archive.pst, not your default PST.
Look for other PST files and open each until you find the one you were using
before.
How did you "make" this PST and why did you need to make one? Just reuse the
PST you were using before.
 
The problem is that I already tried to open up all my different pst files
and I get the same result with every pst file!!
Is their any tool that I can run to fix this problem (I have alreday tried
with the scanpst tool with same bad result)?

No. My question remains: how did you "make" these PST files and why don't
you still have your original PST file?

Never use exporting to create a backup file.
File location depends on your OS and Outlook version.
Take a look at these pages for info on Outlook data backup:

Usually it's either "C:\Documents and Setttings\{username}\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook" or
"C:\Documents and Setttings\{username}\Local Settings\Application
Data\Microsoft\Outlook"
