    How do I restore an outlook pst file on a new pc.


    I had been having trouble with Windows updates and no solution was working. So, I decided to do a clean install of Windows. Before doing this I made a backup of my important files using 2 different hard drives, one using PC Mover from LapLink on an external drive and an other using the backup system that comes with Windows on my secondary drive. Everything went well and I was able to restore my pc to near pefect accuarcy to how it was before, except for the outlook pst file, which was apparently only backed up using the windows back up system. However the new install of Windows doesn't recogni

    Outlook PST File Problem

    That is exactly what I was going to suggest. Export everything to another PST file, delete the old(or rather move it out of the default folder) and replace it with the new PST file that you exported.

    Outlook PST File Problem

    Thanks again everyone. I just did an export on the troubled PST file to create a new PST file from it and the file size went from 3.9GB down to 850MB. Then I installed the new PST file into Outlook that I just created and removed the old PST file from Outlook and all seems to be working fine so far. I think I am good now, but I will give it some time just to make sure there are no problems before I delete the old file. Thanks again.

    Outlook PST File Problem

    Outlook .PST files are maxed at 2GB's anything over that and they become corrupted. You can try the scanpst.exe from above. Also this might help you.
