moving pst's from OL2002 to 2003

[Peter Fitton]

Same problem as Mike 7/9/2005. I cannot by any or all available means get my
old pst's from one computer to another.

I have seen the non permission to access and the cyclical redundancy
messages and also I cannot copy the file from a cd to the hard disk. The
file is a large one and is spread over two cds - made by Roxio 7.5 software.

Any help greatly appreciated

Peter

I have seen the non permission to access and the cyclical redundancy
messages and also I cannot copy the file from a cd to the hard disk.
The file is a large one and is spread over two cds - made by Roxio
7.5 software.

If Roxio created it spanned, it should also be able to reconstruct the
original file. However, I've seen reports of PST corruption that seem to
have been caused only by the CD burning software (i.e., there didn't seem to
be any other good explanation - Occam's Razor and all).

If I were in your shoes and I had access to the old PC, I'd use Outlook to
redistribute my data into multiple PSTs that are each under 600 MB (i.e.,
less than a CD will hold) and move them individually to the other PC.
