I was copyinging it. However, I;ve found out now the real issue, the
user decided that he wanted all his mail on the mail server (we
deployed an exchange server for them and were slowly getting everyone
up to the exchange functionality) he took matters into his own hands
and clicked and dragged his mail from 'personal folders', to 'User -
Mailbox' so essentially from his computer up to the exchange server.
During the moev he rebooted his computer resulting in the pst file i
now get to deal with. any hope at recovering anything? Im guessing
not.

Well, some of the data should have made it to the server, so perhaps between
what's there and what remains in the PST, perhaps you have most of the data.
I don't have any other suggestions.

Perhaps, too, this will be painful enough for the person that he'll learn to
keep backups and to not shut the PC down when it's doing something he asked
it to do.
