Recover Outlook 2003 PST File in Outlook 2007
Background:
Several weeks ago the RAID 0 array on my home computer crashed (hard drive failure) and my motherboard setup would not allow me to boot, even with the RAID array disconnected. I was running MS Office 2003 Pro with Windows XP (fully updated). Because the computer (home built) was ready to be replaced anyway, I did so. The replacement computer is running Windows Vista (32 bit) fully updated and Office 2007 Pro. I was able to place the C hardrive and a secondary harddrive (not part of the RAID 0 array) in enclosures and can access the data, although not the programs or certain items on the C drive listed as "protected." I was also able to access an external harddrive with some backup data. Status: After installing Office 2007 Pro I was able to import from several backup PST files from Outlook 2003, but these backups did not contain the most recent data. I can see the most recent PST files on the old C drive (now: I:\Documents and Settings\"user"\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\Outlook1.pst) from the Office 2003 installation. When I attempt to import the PST files, I receive the message, "File access is denied. You do not have the permission required to access the file I:\Documents and Settings\....... Help needed: I would like to obtain the most recent information on my account contained in these PST files. How do I gain access to the files? Thank you in advance for your assistance!! -- Scott S |

Recover Outlook 2003 PST File in Outlook 2007
First: You never transfer Outlook data by importing it. Why would you? Your
data in already in Outlook format. You have no need to convert it to another format. Importing an Outlook file will lose data and corrupt your profile. You simply find and open the correct data file. If you have a permissions issue, that is not an Outlook issue. It is an OS issue. Consult your operating system's Help files on how to set file and folder permissions correctly. -- Russ Valentine [MVP-Outlook] "Scott S" wrote in message ...
