Microsoft stated that Outlook Inbox repair tool only support PST files that are less than 2GB. Does anyone know how to repair corrupted PST file(s) that are greather than 2GB?
Is there any resolution on this. Need fix ASAP, if you can. thanks

The only thing that makes sense to work is to get a Hex Editor (like Ultra-Edit32, but there are a number of free ones) and cut the file size down that will allow it to be fixed by ScanPST.
After doing this, then possibly try slipstick's suggestion (previously posted). Once it's less than 2GB, if ScanPST comes up with no errors, then you should be good to go.
I'd be interested to see if this has even been done before, usually over 2GB, it's done.
