okay, little background:
- at work, i use Windows 2000 Professional with OL 2003 (dont ask)
- at home, i have Vista and Office 2007
- i have been overseas for some time, and on my trip home backed up my
entire inbox & folders to a PST
- due to "security concerns" i was unable to copy it to a flash drive, and
used a CD RW
i understand OL's limitation regarding opening a PST off of a CD (the
read-only attribute), which leads directly to my problem:
i am unable to copy a PST file from my CD RW to a local drive. i have tried
every method i can dream up (drag/drop, copy/paste, cmd prompt copy, xcopy,
you name it) i have also tried importing from PST, and scanpst'ing the file
itself
at first i thought this was simply a corrupt file (which really had me
p---ed off), but when i discovered that older PSTs also would not copy... i
knew something was fishy.
OBTW - I am unable to write to the CD RW, due to differences in the UDF
format and software incompatibilities from the network that i originally
burned it on (ie, i cannot change the file attributes on the disk - it is
truly "read only")
PLEASE help!! the exchange server with these emails are THOUSANDS of miles
away... thanks in advance!
