The pst has to be located on the hd, the read only flag off, then in OL
FileOpenData File and browse to location. NB Do NOT overwrite any existing pst "markmann" wrote in message ... Hi I backed up my email and then coppied it to a disk. I reinstalled my whole machine for I got a new one. When I go to import my PST file, it says not a PST???? Anyone heard of this??? |

Thankx for the reply. I tried to open it from the hard drive and first was
told that it was not a PST file. I asked XP to search the web for an appropiate program to open this document and was pointed to outlook. I checked the read only button and it was off. I tried the OL FileOpenData File and it said that it is not a PST. The size is 796 MB (834,797,568 bytes). Is there a size restriction for a PST??? Thankx again. I know the data is there, just how to access it?? "DL" wrote: The pst has to be located on the hd, the read only flag off, then in OL FileOpenData File and browse to location.

Whatever method you used to "backup" your PST has corrupted it and it is not recoverable without a commercial product. -- Brian Tillman |
