Outlook 2K3 PST file screw up

I exported my email folder because I was formatting my computer and reinstalling everything. After I backed everything up to my second partition, Windows 2000 refused to let me not repartition the entire drive without working. I ripped the drive out and installed it in another computer then moved my data over. I then wiped the drive.

To the points, now my three PST files do not work! I had my emails stored in there. Anyone have a clue on how to fix this?

Maybe it has something to do with the transition? I'm sure you already uninstalled/reinstalled. I don't use Outlook, so I can't get into the program and try to help you out.

EDIT: Try deleting the directory with the PST files in them. Then uninstall/reinstall Outlook.

I'm just curious. Did it work?
