I have try repair the pst file by inbox repair tool (scanpst.exe). when i open the outlook w/ the recovery pst. Only one folder show - deleted item. But the pst file size still keep at 600mb. Anybody know what happen? Thx
 
The file is still at 600 MB because the file has not been compacted. If you compact the file the size will go down to 32 KB. In a nutshell the data is lost. More than likely the file became corrupted and it should be recovered from backup. joegz

Thx Joegz.
I have compact the pst file. But no change of the file size. When i inport the pst to my outlook. It only show deleted items,outbox & send items. But these folders are empty.
 
Wow...that is strange. If you right mouse click on the personal folder and select PROPERTIES then click folder size see if tells you where it sees the 600 MB. joegz
