PST files not opening (for a period of time)

OS & AS are 2000
The pst files of 5 users were moved to a file server (for backups each
evening). They've worked fine till this morning. The file server locked up,
had to be shut down, and after reboot, one users can't open her PST files. 2
users PSTs opened with a few "tries" while it took a few hours before 2 other
PSTs would open properly.
Any suggestions on how to resolve the issue to get the last pst to open
would be greatly appreciated.

(If the business was better off financially, they might consider Exchange.)
 
The problem with storing pst's on the server is that it is not supported by
MS.
Any hickup on the server/connection will likely render the pst corrupt
 
Including if the server runs W2K SBE?

Of minor detail: All psts are now working properly. While some were up and
running immediately (after the "freeze"), others took up to 8 hrs to function
properly.

(This had worked well for 2 1/2 yrs, but was almost disasterous when the
server "froze".)
