Damaged pst file

[Rob]

Ran a scanpst.exe on a pst that is 1.92GB big and ran the
8 phases. It then asked to repair and hit yes. Gave me a
message that it wasn't able to rapair it due to a damaged
file. How can I fix this to retrieve the email? Thanks!

I recommend you to use a crop PST tool from microsoft
website.

Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 296088 will be
available to u on Support site. this deals with OL:
Oversized PST and OST Crop Tool and this might help you.
Suggest you to use Outlook 2003 as the maximum capacity
of Outlook 2002 or older version of outlook is with in
1.8GB PST

You're probably need to reduce it in size first. See

I tried this already and it still doesn't open the pst
file in outlook 2000.
