Down8 0 Posted October 29, 2001 OK, I'm planning a major overhaul of my system, and I need to know two things: 1) When I copy the Outlook2K outlook.pst file, does it include my calendar appointments, notes, etc., as well as all my e-mail? 2) If I compress a bunch of files/directories via NTFS attributes, that _aren't_ on the system partition [D:\], will they still be readable when I wipe the system partition [C:\] and re-install Win2K? I'm fairly certain the answer to both questions is 'yes', but I don't want to lose anything - like I have sooo many times in the past. Thanks for any clues, -bZj Share this post Link to post
clutch 1 Posted October 29, 2001 Yes and yes. What I normally do is export all the email to my archive.pst folder anyway, so that way I have all of my email, attachments, contacts, etc in one file. Also, I make sure to compress that file in outlook first before I format. Win2K will also read "spot" compression on files and folders, and even the entire disk if it has been compressed after setup.
