Corrupt the PST file and recover deleted Outlook email

Unconventional methods for recovery of lost data can often provide you with some measurable avenues and at times the only option to get what you want. The emails that are permanently deleted aren’t actually completely deleted when these have left the Deleted Items folder. Therefore, whenever an email gets deleted from the PST file, it simply gets replaced by the other. Here the trick is to get back that one message that has been removed or deleted. There are numerous recovery examiners who deliberately corrupt the PST and then recover it, thereby retrieving all the contents including the ones which were permanently deleted from the PST file. You can do this yourself too, but make sure you create a backup first. As the method given below involves corrupting the Outlook’s PST file, we strongly suggest you to create a backup before attempting the process. After creating a backup, follow these steps: 1.In order to corrupt the PST file, open it with the hex editor of your choice. (If you don’t have one, download one from internet, as these can be easily downloaded) 2.Delete positions 7 through 13 with the spacebar. Because you are using hexadecimal numbering, this actually clears 13 characters in the following positions: 00007 00008 00009 0000a 0000b 0000c 0000d 0000e 0000f 00010 00011 00012 00013 While you clear a position with the spacebar, the editor will always display the code “20” 3. After clearing these positions in the file, save it. Your PST can be corrupt. 4.Run the Outlook Repair Tool (Inbox Repair Tool), Scanpst.exe to recover the file. On Win2K and WinNT systems, the executable is located at C:Program FilesCommon FilesSystemMapi1033NT. In Office 2000 CD-ROM you will find the executable at Drive:PfilesCommonSystemMapi1033NT. In WinXP, the file is located at C:Program FilesCommon FilesSystemMapi1033. 5.After creating a backup, the Inbox Repair Tool repairs the damage and recreates the PST. Now open the new PST in Outlook. The Deleted Items folder will be containing all removed messages, everything that you deleted will be restored. Although this technique falls against the norms of usual productive measures available for Outlook repair, but it may be the best available option for retrieving specific messages that have been permanently deleted from Outlook. This is quite a simple method to perform and you don’t have worry at all for recovering your important data. However, in case your PST file gets highly corrupt or damaged, you can always switch to Outlook repair tool which are specially devised to repair PST files and fetch vital data from corrupt or damaged PST file. So when, the next time you want to recover important information from a message that has been deleted permanently, you can consider this as an option for getting the data back.

Is this a decent gaming PC for a 12 year old?

I am looking to buy my nephew a PC for his 12th birthday. My friend has his old pc he wants to sell me for $200. Its complete with a 17" flatscreen CRT monitor, keyboard/laser mouse, 2.1 sound system & a tower with an AMD 2.13GHz THORTON core CPU, 768MB PC2100 RAM, ATI 9600PRO video card, SOUNDBLASTER LIVE sound card, CD-RW, DVD-ROM & a 20GB hard drive with a fresh install of WINXP PRO SP2, ZONEALARM firewall, AVG anti virus, NERO, EVEREST 2.0, WINDOWS REGESTRY CLEANER & a few other programs incuding a GAMPAD & a couple demo games like FEAR, DOOM 3, HALO & SWAT 4. Is this a good rig for a 12 year old? I dont have alot of money & dont think I could build a better PC for $200 complete like it is. Also I know it works fine as its my friends old gaming rig. What do you think is it a good deal? He might take $180 if I show him the cash in $20 bills you know.
His 2 favorite games right now are RUNESCAPE & MAPLE STORY

That really is a good PC for $200. The only thing I would recommend is adding a larger Hard Drive later as a secondary drive and pretty soon a new Video card, since most new games won't play at all on the ATI 9600. The RAM is good for gaming on XP and the CPU is good as well. You should also get a good Antivirus, my suggestion is Trend Micro - won't slow down your system like Norton will, and just as powerful, plus Spysweeper for anti Spyware. Without those 2 programs that computer won't last long. Don't let him use Limewire or any of those free song downloading programs. They are virus superhighways!
