Hi camper66
Welcome to aD!
How large is the file? What type of file is it?
Does your drive support writing to DVD's?

Hi Camper
Almost a gig so here's 2 suggestions:
Right click on the .pst - pick send to and choose your dvd drive to write to a dvd. Does the pc that has this file have the dvd writer?

Or if by chance you have a 1 gig or more flash stick w/ .98 mb available- transfer with that. Same thing right click .pst send to and pick the flash stick to transfer.

Forgot one - in case this pc doesn't have a dvd writer or no flash stick w/ available space.
Create a 2nd .pst. Then move some of the emails/folders to the new .pst - enuf that each .pst can fit to a cd. Then burn each one.
You can combine them again if you like once transfered.

@camper66

You can also use WinRAR to create a file using "split archive" to break it into smaller files which can later be pieced back together.
Quote:
Volumes are parts of a split archive. Volumes are supported only by the RAR archive format, so you cannot create ZIP volumes. Generally volumes are used to store a large archive on several diskettes or other removable media.

Thank you very much all guys... for the moment I have chosen to write the file to a dvd. Ideally allowing a multi-cd feature in a future Nero would have been perfect.

thnx
