Which version of Windows and Outlook are you using?

A 0KB file is not recoverable since it is an empty file.

Did you perhaps have Previous Versions enabled? In that case, see:

Otherwise, you'll need a disk scanning tool to piece together which used to made up your pst-file but these don't come cheap. An application which can do this is:
