Hi Scott,
Alles gaat nog steeds goed, hopelijk gaat ook alles nog goed met jou (zelfs
na je harddisk failure).
The results are indeed what I was afraid of; the file was damages before you
could save it. This is way it got truncated; it's all what could be saved.
The backup pst add-in from Microsoft is indeed a good tool to make regular
backups of your pst-file. Of course it won't help you much in the case of a
harddisk failure unless you have the original and the back-up on physically
different disks.
Although the classic pst-file can be 2GB and the new Outlook 2003 can be
practically unlimited in size I've never even had a pst-file of ove half a
GB. I like to keep my pst-files small so backing up and restoring them is
very fast.

Roady, hoe gaat het?
ran a scanpst.exe, it found several errors. Regardless, when I popped in
the old hard drive, the .pst is now much smaller 15mb as opposed to 1.4gb.
Maybe its just as well those emails are gone, lots of memories, not all of
them good.
I was able to download the 'backup' .pst file from MS, I was wondering why
that wasn't an option (just archieving). Hope alles goed.
