Outlook 2007

[Turkey]

I am importing 5 gb of pst files from work into my home Outlook Personal
Folder. The import is not completing. I get the following "The operation
failed. An object cannot be found." Those that do get imported will not let
me delete. I get "The drive that contains your data file is out of space.
Empty the Deleted Items folder or create space on the drive by removing some
of your files. Access is denied. Verify the disk is not full or write
protected and that the files is not being used."

What is causing this?

My first guess would be that your drive is formatted FAT32 which only
supports files up to 4GB in size. If that's the case you might try
converting it to NTFS which supports much larger files.

That said...I'd be reluctant to have a 5GB PST file if I didn't have to.
It'll work (if the PST file is an Outlook 2007 Unicode file) but the
performance might not be very good.

Do you really need all of those items in a single PST file?

I don't need the total 5 gb. How can I reduce the size of the exported file?
It's several folders with subfolders. How do I convert to NTFS?

Why import?
Simply open the data file within Outlook, then copy whats required to your
current default set

See winHelp for convert to ntfs - its a simple convert cmnd
