Is there any way to recover my Outlook data?

Hi everyone, 
I have a problem with Outlook 2007. I am trying to import a data file that I have placed on my desktop called outlook.pst. I am getting an error message stating " C:\...\outlook.pst is not an Outlook data file (.pst).
The Outlook.pst is outlook file but its saying is not and outlook file. Is there anything wrong? That sounds weird. ScanPST.exe after launch, says that can't repair the file.
Please post if you have any suggestion. Thank you.

Restore manually
Choose File-> Open-> Outlook Data File…
Browse to the location where you’ve restored the pst file. For instance:
D:\My Documents\My Outlook\Temp
You’ll now see an additional set of folders added to your folder list which you can expand. Expand the list and select the Inbox folder
In this folder select the messages you want to restore to the original Inbox folder
Drag & drop them to the default Inbox folder
Do the same for the Contacts folder. You might want to set your view to a list view so you can easily select and move the items.
Outlook 2007 and previous
View-> Current View-> Phone List
Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013
tab Home-> group Current View-> List
Now that the importing is complete, right click the pst-file in Outlook added in step 2 and choose Disconnect.
Restart Outlook and remove the export.pst file from the Temp directory if desired.
