Outlook - REQ: Help oh Help I have done a bad thing with my c drive while upgrading
Asked By Roscoe P Pendoscoe
24-Jan-07 08:35 AM
from a 40 gig that was failing to a new 250 gig and the Seagate
software defaulted to the windows interface and I let it go instead of
using DOS.
The process locked up at 80% and after an hour I restarted hoping it
had a place to pick it up where it left off. No soap.
I am a dope. I am in trouble.
Data is spread between the 2 drives, and the new drive even though it
is jumpered as slave is the "C" drive and the old 40 is now "D".
Yikes!
My wife connects through my computer to the internet and cannot now
and she just started a new semester of school. Did I tell you I am in
trouble?
Any help with Outlook would be a first step as I have restored my
connection but Outlook says "invalid data path".
I have found the outlook.pst file. Does anyone know how I can get this
back into use?
And also ICS is jacked up

Most drive copying software only reads from (doesn't write to) the source
drive, so the data on the old 40 should be intact. I should think you'd be
able to wipe the new 250 and start over with the correct interface. As to
Outlook, this article should help you reuse your old PST file:

Reconnect your old Outlook data file

Thank you for the reply.
Sorry for late response back but I could not locate the thread in
Agent for some reason.
One "small " issue Hal is that the new 250 is now been renamed "C" and
the Old 40 is named "D" for some very odd reason..The very strange
part is that the new drive is the slave and the old 40 is still
jumpered master.
I have tried repeatedly to copy my *.pst Outlook file to the proper
place described in the article but I continually get "path is
invalid" error and then it tries to repair Outlook then fails and then
closes.
Any other suggestions?
BTW, I have renewed my cable connection but not my network in it's
entirety. It has saved my life, literally as my Wife can connect to
take her tests online but not do homework as Word does not work.
Also, I have ALL my important CD's in 2 carousel storage devices
connected via USB and are not operating to retreive CD's needed for
re-install programs.
I have built approximately 20-25 computers for myself and friends and
this is the worst thing I have ever done. This is the 2nd newest and
it has been the worst performer from the beginng. I do have many
important back-up files that ARE accessible on 2 160's in a RAID array
I can still access though thankfully. A small joy.
Again, thanks for helpful info and I will keep trying with Outlookas I
was in the middle of some very important e-mail messages

Saving attachments to folder from public folder Outlook Hey there! I am currently working on a project that involves merging data from many into one Excel workbook for analysis. The csv files are sent to a public folder (outlook: \ Public Folders \ All Public Folders \ etc. . .) I thought the easiest way to do this would be to import the data straight from Outlook to the Excel file but after much painful testing I could not get it to main mailbox folders, not public and am unsure why. . . I have almost no experience with Outlook coding so any help is appreciated! This is the current code: If there is a instead of using a selection, that is fine too!

POP3 not removing items from the server after download Outlook I have Outlook 2010 and my e-mail provider is BT Yahoo. I have always had Outlook configured to remove items from the server after they have downloaded and this has worked from the BT Yahoo Inbox to the BT Yahoo Trash file. I have checked my Outlook Account Settings and they are still as they were. I have set up a new Outlook Profile and that has the same result after downloading. The only thing that I have pst file stayed in Users - AppData - Local and I have now moved it to the Outlook Files folder in My Documents. I have a PC and a Laptop so have set the .pst in Outlook Files to be shared so I can pick up that folder no matter whether I Microsoft update have made some Registry change which has caused the issue to happen?

Outlook 2007 Checks Mail Every 60 Seconds Outlook I started a thread on this topic a couple of weeks ago, and thought I would summarize in a new thread since the problem persists. I use Outlook 2007 with Outlook Connector for my primary POP3 and Hotmail accounts on Windows 7. All works well, except that Outlook checks for mail about once per minute. I do not have Fax Transport activated for my mail profile. Several people posted possible fixes as follows: * Rebooted and started Outlook. Reset Outlook's Auto-send period to every 30 minutes. * Opened Outlook using safe switch via Start, Run, "outlook.exe / safe". * Shut down Outlook, located the srs
