Re: How to convert an OST file to a PST file

OST to PST conversion is a method to recover data from OST file. But there is one more option i.e. Outlook 2000 provides a great facility to repair OST file with MS Exchange inbuilt tool SCANOST.EXE, Its helps to repair damaged OST file from Outlook & resolve the synchronization issue in Outlook 2000. In case the recovery is unsuccessful than user need to try any OST to PST Converter tool to convert OST file to a PST file..

I had the same issue with MS Photo Editor: "Error Reading File".
after investigation, I found the cause: JPEGIM32.FLT from C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Grphflt is a newer one, not supported by "old" Photo Editor (mine was from July 2010); Just rename it and re-install Photo Editor => All works fine !

3.5 inch drives seem to have finer pins.

For some of the end-users, I tend to be the last chance saloon.
i. they've had a go fixing it themselves, and bent the PIN themselves a few times.

Interesting...and so the screen hung for 16 seconds as the user, impatient as always, hit the reset button or smashed the keyboard.
Thank you Microsoft...

That's a good point Angry, I'll double check that.
(I don't think it's an issue, but it's worth a shot).

On my Dell Mini, I use a utility called Touch Freeze which does something similar.

Usually when I see behaviour like this it's down to the tap-to-click function on the touchpad being activated, either inadvertently by the user (bracelets, sleeves, clumsiness) or because the tap is too sensitive and is picking up vibrations from the keys being pressed.

Unless you've already eliminated this as a cause, I suggest disabling tap-to-click and see if the problem goes away.

Re: HP Printer Status Notification Pop-up messages

It would be nice if HP had put out a driver update to fix this instead of leaving users to search all over the net to find a solution. Our office alone prints hundreds of documents a day. The notification would even be tolerable if it didn't constantly disable the window you're working in when it pops up so that you have to stop and either click on the document window to re-enable it or close the notificiation pop up. Multiply that by thousands of offices with thousands of workers having to do this ALL DAY LONG!!!!

Yes, you're right of course. Some people *ahem me* have it default to "Charge Only" and need to do these steps. I'm not sure about my friend, hence the bib and braces approach.

Re: How to fix the “Cannot attach the virtual hard disk …”

Martin Bishop — Sat, 17 Sep 2011 16:09:20 -0000

Hi everyone,

Thanks for this guide, it did help me get an older Windows XP drive image resized to work with a Windows 7 virtual machine.

I had the problem with the VHDResizer giving me a minimum size of 149 (the total disk size) even after performing the operations with diskpart. What appeared to happen is that even though I shrank the main partition on the drive image, there was still an extra partition (probably system restore information) in the volume at the end of the disk. So I went from the disk having:

Data partition
Data partition

To:

Data Partition
Empty Space (created by the diskpart shrink)
Data Partition

I assume that VHDResizer saw the end partition and couldn't handle resizing the disk.

The solution is to mount the virtual disk using diskpart, go into the Disk Manager , find the virtual disk, and delete the final partition. (Make sure this isn't the main partition you resized, or some other partition that you actually need!) Then the disk should look like:

Data Partition
Empty Space

Unmount the disk in diskpart, load up VHDResizer on the image, and it should have the correct minimum value.

Side note: My VHDResizer said that the minimum was 109, but I had to put in 110 in order to get the "resize" button to enable.

Hope that helps.

Besides these tools, one other ost to pst converter tool is available i.e. Stellar Phoenix Convert OST PST. The Stellar's tool for ost to pst conversion is very easy to use with it's Outlook resembling GUI and able to convert OST to PST file in all instances of corruption. It can convert even password protected or encrypted ost file to pst file.

I got the same error message, but for a different reason. When I tried to access it through DISKPART, I got the following message:

DISKPART> select vdisk file="d:\virtual Hard Disks\Kamikaze Hard Disk.vhd"DiskPart has encountered an error: The sector size of the physical disk on which the virtual disk resides is not supported.See the System Event Log for more information.There is no virtual disk selected.My virtual disk is only 6GB, but because it was located on a 8TB physical disk, it was unable to connect to it. I copied it to my 120GB boot drive, and then both DISKPART and Virtual PC were happy.
