Did scanpst report no err's even if run several times?
If you have access to the old drive copy any data files to Documents folder,
then try opening within Outlook

A little more clarification.........the b-up is sitting on the desktop of
the
new hd I installed in my laptop in recovered files folder. I also have
the
old hd and it too has a b-up copy on it.

Hi DL-

It is a b-up copy of a pst file. Yes, the file is located on the current
HD
in a recovered files folder on my laptop desktop. Have tried to import
pst
file as well as to open from OL two different ways via File-Open.

Thank you for your time and interest in helping me resolve this issue.

Is this backup a copy of a pst file or was it created with some backup

Is this file located on the current hd?
Are you opening it within OL via FileOpen?

I have a back-up file (~ 3.3 GB) of Outlook 2007 from crashed hard
drive .
When I try to import PST file I get the following message: "Errors
have
been
detected in the file" Tried Scanpst.exe to no avail.

When I try to open directly from the recovered file using Outlook I
get a
message that the "attachment size exceeds the allowable limit"

Suggestions on how to import/repair PST file would be greatly
appreciated.

Thanks.
Jimmy
