MS Office Forum / Outlook / Contacts / February 2007Outlook .pst file problem
I have trasferred .pst data file to the new hdd OS reinstalled. I have copied by connecting my old hdd as secondary to the new hdd which is primary. After copying the .pst file , when i tried to add in the outlook it says - .pst is not a personal folder file. Tried doing scanpst several times - gives same error .pst is not a personal folder file. Tied copy the file from old hdd several times - result is same as above. My .pst file size is 1.80gb. Please suggest how to recover the data or is there any tool to recover . Sounds like you have hit the upper limit for .pst file size. See if this helps: http://www.slipstick.com/problems/repair2gbpst.htm  SignatureMilly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

Hi milly, Thanks for the reply, The above link didn't worked. after running recovery softwares it throws error " not a valid pst file". The size of the pst is a 1.80 with in 2gb limit. Feel some problem in the file format. any suggestions? > The above link didn't worked. after running recovery softwares it > throws error " not a valid pst file". If Outlook is complaining that the PST is not a valid PST file, then it's likely the file is trash, either because of how it was created or in its copying and only a commercial recovery tool stands a chance of fixing it.
