There is an application called EasyRecovery Professional. Should work but I am not guaranteeing it. I have a copy, I can give it to you. And just out of curiosity, why did someone let a Microsoft Outlook PST file grow to 8GB? Files larger than 2GB are hard enough to handle.

First of all, going forwards, its not a good idea to have such a large pst. It is a recipe for disaster both from a corruption perspective and for a disaster recovery basis. Create several archives -- perhaps quarterly. As for your problem you need to make sure that: You have at least 12GB free -- the tool recreates the PST file so you need at least as much space free plus some extra You leave it to run in peace. It may appear to hang but it might actually be doing something On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 5:54 PM, anne kagz <annekagiri@hotmail.com> wrote:

A couple of months ago I ran EasyRecovery on a 10Gb, badly corrupted .pst file that I recovered from a formatted HD. EasyRocovery worked on the file for a straight 74hrs! Trust bosses never to archive files in 2yrs! On Thu, Oct 8, 2009 at 6:12 PM, Rad! <conradakunga@gmail.com> wrote:
