I recently had to re-build my laptop. Backed everythning up. Including my
3.3GB pst which was working fine. After re-installing, I was confronted with errors when trying to use the pst, and also when trying to import from it. I always heard there was a size restriction, but never had a problem with it. If I knew in advance that I wouldn't be able to use it, I would have broken it out into multiple psts. But now I am stuck. I have a monthly backup scheme and was able to import my March pst, but lost my April and May emails. Is there any way to extract the last 2 months from my 3.3GB pst? Thanks |

What version of Outlook are you using? There is a limit on PST size of 2 GB
but that applies to Outlook 2002 and earlier. Later versions do not have this particular size restriction. Have you tried scanning the PST for errors with Outlook closed? If you burned the PST to a CD, did you remove the read only attribute? "Tony Cannizzo" wrote in message .. . I recently had to re-build my laptop. Backed everythning up.

Haven't tried burning to a CD, it is on an external hard drive. I suppose I would have to burn it to a DVD? I have run SCANPST.EXE and in the 2nd pass looking for lost data I get an error message and it cannot complete. "K. Orland" wrote in message ... What version of Outlook are you using?

It doesn't matter what removable media you use to transfer the information
on. I don't think one is preferable to another. Try copying the data locally onto the C drive and scanning if you haven't done that already.

What is the error message that you get when you scan?
Also, don't import your PST. Use File Open. Importing can cause some data issues. "Tony Cannizzo" wrote in message ... I have tried that also. "K. Orland" wrote in message ...

To get rid of PST file corruption due to oversized PST issues, you can go for scanpst.exe download but it is unable to repair files above 2Gb so in this situation PST Repair software is the best one to opt for that competently perform PST Repair process in an efficient manner.
