Default Recover Outlook 2007 if .pst file is missing (Vista) ?

Hi,

I had a failed hard drive (corrupted boot sector) on my Vista machine
running Outlook 2007.

I am able to see/recover most of the data from the disk. However, I cannot
find my Outlook.pst file anywhere on the hard drive.

Please let me know if there is any way I can recover my data.

Thank you!

PST files are hidden. Likely locations are well documented:

Why not just rebuild the boot sector instead of replacing the hard drive?

If your problem involves software, hardware or service brands, most reps will pass the buck. Then you start again. Add to the mix some manufacturers charge for support. IT support is the way to keep all of your tech in tune through a subscription-based tech support center.
