I have to import a pst file to a newly formatted PC. If I import the pst file
the import process freezes all the time and then Outlook can't even open
anymore. I have created a new profile and the same thing happend again and
again.
When I try to repair the file (scanpst) it finds error and when I backup and
repair the file, even scanpst freezes. The only thing I could do was to copy
the old file into the location of Outlook, at least my customer can work.
However, this is not a solution as in general the file is still corrupt.
Does anyone know of ways how to repair this file?
Thanks in advance

Do *not* use 'Import' for a PST file! This will lead to all kinds of
problems, as pointed out in the newsgroup several times a day.

Copy the PST file to any location on the new PC (but do not replace the
default PST file), make sure that the read-only attribute is not set,
then *open* it with Outlook (File | Open | Outlook data file).

If the PST file is indeed corrupt, it may have occurred during the
transfer, e.g. on a weak transfer media such as DVD. Just copy the
original file again, best by compressing it into a ZIP file, so
preserving all attributes and consistency.

The .pst file you are trying to import is corrupt; this is the reason why you are not able to import the .pst file to your Outlook. In such case, you have to first repair those corrupt .pst files using PST Repair Software and then proceed importing.
