outlook xp (2002)
~333mb .pst file
internet only profile
workgroup computer, no domain
lost the hard drive.
actually recovered quite a bit of data
can't copy outlook.pst off the bad drive (crc error toward the end of copy)
i want to run scanpst on the .pst file but I'd like to somehow preserve the
original broken .pst file.
Suggestions?

Is there a way to at least import the Inbox or Sent folders or is it all or
nothing?
Thanks
 
Its all or nothing.
You attempted a copy from the Dos prompt?
Or with tools available at bootdisk.com?
 
Thank you for replying.
I was very fortunate to have the fresh xp install on a new drive see the old
drive and the data after running spinrite on it.
I just dragged the folder to the new drive. That's when I got the crc
error - right at the end of the copy.
All is gone... we used an old backup and all the new mail was still on the
isp server.
Thanks again,.
 
cest la vie
