scanpst

[Jim Szatkowski]

I have an archive folder that I moved from OL2003 and ran successfully with
OL 2007 for several months. I ran the Office 2007 repair tool to fix an
issue with extensions in the photo viewer tool and it reset all my OL2007
settings. I've tried to run the scanpst.exe tool on it - it found errors
and when I asked to repair, it said not enough space on the disk. There's
over 130 Gb of free space on the drive this archive folder resides. There's
over 20 Gb free on my C: drive where the OL2007 resides.

Any suggestions to finish the process? The archive file is approx 4 Gb in
size. Again, it's from OL2003 but has been imported into and ran with
OL2007 for several months without issues.

Thanks, in advance.

Jim

Some more details: When I try to "Add" the file back into OL2007 with the
File|DataFileManagement|DataFilesTab|Add Files tab,
I get "File was not closed properly....file is being checked for errors."
which then goes away and displays a "An Unknown error occurred, error code:
0x8004010d".

I run the scanpst.exe on it and it reports: "There is not enough space on
this disk to repair the file" after it finds errors and offers to repair
them.

FYI

2nd additional information:
When I try to import into OL2007, with the import/export tool - I get:
"The drive that contains your data file is out of disk space. Empty the
deleted items
folder or create space on the drive by removing some of your files. Access
is
denied. Verify the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is
not being used."

Again - the drive has over 130 Gb of free space; the file is not being used
and the drive is
a NAS drive - not write protected.

Thanks!
Jim

This makes me suspicious. Are you using a FAT32 or an NTFS partition? The
former has a maxiumum file limit of 4 GB for any file.

First of all, you must know that Scanpst.exe tool does not repair PST files above 2GB. It will give you errors and the repair process stuck in the between. So, you must use PST Repair tool which is capable to repair Outlook files regardless of their file size without any errors and the process gets completed in minutes.
