There is a tool you can buy to do this. I have used it before and it worked 
fine. You can download a demo from http://www.officerecovery.com/ Not sure how 
much it cost. Gives you back attachments etc.

I do not think that you can convert OST to PST.  I found the information below 
at www.technet.com <http://www.technet.com/>  

 

*           Personal folder (.pst) files located on the user's computer. One or 
more .pst files can reside on each user's computer. A .pst file can be defined 
as your primary store, meaning that your mail is delivered to the Inbox in that 
file, and all of your other default Outlook folders, such as Calendar, 
Contacts, Deleted Items, Journal, Notes, Sent Items, and Tasks reside there. 
Or, a .pst file can be defined as a secondary store, so that you can move items 
to it, either manually or with Inbox Rules, from your primary store. 

Each .pst file can contain as many folders as you want, and each folder can 
contain a maximum of 64,000 records. The total size of a .pst file cannot 
exceed 2 gigabytes. 

*           Offline store (.ost) files located on the user's computer. Only one 
.ost file can exist for each user profile. The .ost file is always defined as 
your primary store. Your mail is delivered to the Inbox in that file, and all 
of your other default Outlook folders, such as Calendar, Contacts, Deleted 
Items, Journal, Notes, Sent Items, and Tasks, reside there. 

The .ost file differs from the .pst file because .ost items can also reside in 
the user's mailbox on the server. You can synchronize the .ost file and mailbox 
folders so that they always contain the same information. Then, you can work 
offline when the server is unavailable; when you reconnect to the server, 
changes that you made offline are uploaded to the server, and mail received 
while you were offline is downloaded to the .ost file.
