Hi everyone,

I've big problem about my outlook data file. (I use Outlook 2007)

My outlook data file it's too large (19 gb.) then i can't open it from Outlook program.

It's displayed an error: Errors have been detected in the file ....

I've tried to restore the data but can recover only 845 mb. from 19 gb.

(Use SCANPST.EXE for restore it)

So, do you have another way to recover it for me because i lost an e-mail almost a year.

Thank you for the help and advice.

19GB is very large, but that is not the reason why it got corrupted.

Surely you have backups of the pst-file if it contains that much important data?
You can then restore it to the original location (rename the current corrupted file so you won't lose it in case you still need to recover additional data from it).
See: http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/backupandrestore.htm

If you don't have any backups, you could try Previous Versions:
http://www.howto-outlook.com/howto/previousversionsrecovery.htm

Otherwise, you'll have to try some commercial recovery tools. Several are listed here:

Use their trials to determine whether it can recover more than what scanpst.exe can do and to determine which has the best results for you.

If you don't have backup of emails and want to recover emails you have to repair your pst file with more powerful tool which can repair the pst file and recover all information from it.  Download a tool from http://www.nucleustechnologies.com/Microsoft-Outlook-Mail-Recovery.html for repairing your pst file and recovering all your emails.

Indeed 19 GB is a very large Outlook Data file. You should have created a backup file. if you have already used SCANPST.EXE of MS Outlook in-built recovery function. I suggest that you save the file and try re installing the MS Outlook. If the situation persists, then you should go for any third party PST recovery software. Many of them are available in the free-trial version and support all Windows OS.

As you are using Outlook 2007, the .pst file must be in Unicode format. A Unicode .pst file of 19 GB is not too large as it has no size limitation. Usually .pst files get corrupted due to oversizing issue. But it seems the cause is not its oversize here, it might be something else. As you have already used SCANPST.EXE, so to recommend this again would not be a good idea.

As you are looking for another way other than SCANPST.EXE, to recover your file, I would recommend you to check some third-party PST recovery apps. You can check SysInfoTools File Repair software to recover your data from corrupt .pst file. You can try its free demo version to check the preview of recovered data.

Thanks.
