From: mjschill on 14 Jan 2007 20:47 My Archived mail .pst file, which was 1.4GB when I upgraded to Outlook 2007 from Outlook 2003, is now over 4 GB in size and I can't open it. I get an error "An unknown error occured, error code: 0X800401d". The repair utility does not work as I get a fatel error there as well. Help
From: Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] on 14 Jan 2007 21:05 Is that .pst file in unicode or ansi format? -- Milly Staples [MVP - Outlook] Post all replies to the group to keep the discussion intact.

From: mjschill on 14 Jan 2007 21:18 How do I tell? I ran the scanpst.exe, which scans the file and tells me it needs to be repaired. When I click the repair button, it gives an error message saying that it can't do the repair.

From: mjschill on 14 Jan 2007 22:17 I tried the repair in the Inbox Repair Tool, and it after running the 8 tests and hitting the repair button, it comes back with "There is not enough spaced on this disk to repair the file.", even though I have 37 gig of disk space on a new hard drive.

Milly, If you are still reading this, do you have any info that may help me recover this file? In running the repair utility, it says "There is not enough space on this disk to repair the file." Even with 37GB of available HD space. I guess I could move it to a larger hard drive to see if it works. Any suggestions from anyone would be appreciated.
