outlook broken pst file

Hi, can anybody please help me to open my outlook [ office 2007 ] it keeps coming up as a broken .pst file and I have run the recuva and as it said to not store the recovered files on the same drive as the exisiting file I have saved it to my external hard drive. what do I do now outlook still wont open and I foolishly don't have a restore point and keep a lot of important emails in my outlook folders.

thanks Harps59

Once you've recovered it to another drive, you can copy back to its former location. However it sounds more like you've tried to open it and outlook tells you it's broken. Not all recoveries work and the file might be damaged.
