Outlook Pst file error repairer
Merry christmas all.
A client of mine runs an 8gb pst file which i have finally encouraged him to reduce by archiving off all pre 2013 communications.
Phew.
But before we do this i would prefer the pst file to be error free which it isn't. whenever i run scanpst on the file it gets to the point of copying the pst before making changes, the copy is good but then scanpst hangs. Scanpst can only be killed by end process in task manager.
So of all the multitude of outlook pst file error recovery programs "out there" could i have some recommendations of which might be the correct tool. I have warned the client that it might cost £100 to purchase a program.
Happy new year.

A CRC check means the hard drive has had a problem and trashed the file where the problem was - in this case the PST file.
Did you try the Stellar Tools?
Be ready for the possibility your PST file is beyond recovery.

As John already told I would also check your hard drive.

Crystal disk reports that the health of the disk is "good" i don't know if there is an excellant but i believe this to be true as the drive is only 9 months old.
Outlook still works and i'm of the opinion that i'll use either stellar or kernel pst utilities to run on the pst file.

S.M.A.R.T. (Self-Monitoring, Analysis and Reporting Technology) check looks ok try Stellar Tools.

Running stellar today , after first pass stellar hung on saving data to repair.pst. had to stop it after 90 mins not moving at all. Reran stellar on original .pst file and repair .pst is 20gb ! instead of 7-8 ish, really weeird. Running repair on original again, awaiting results , it does take some hours.
This copy of stellar is not the techy version just the simple single pc version but it doesn't seem to have a reporting function so it's a bit difficult to see what's what.

Just realised that stellar may have recovered deleted and junk emails which would account for the vast increase in size, sometimes i'm a bit sloooooow on the uptake. !

Pst repaired files still at 16mb but a awful lot easier to delete additional emails and attachments than to recreate them. User happy to tidy up his file as perhaps he should have been for years !
