Troubleshooting the cycle redundancy errors of PST file

Microsoft outlook stores email record of user in one or multiple PST files. Email folders of an outlook mailbox is stored in one or several PST files. The PST files become corrupt due to various factors like virus and spyware intrusion, hard disk crashes, crash of MS office software and others. When PST files become corrupt, all email folders of an outlook user mailbox become Inaccessible. The outlook user may encounter different types of error messages like CRC and Jet Engine errors while trying to assess his/her inaccessible mailbox.

Cycle redundancy check or CRC errors of PST files are reported mainly due to problem in storage devices. This type of error is not generated due to virus attack or software problem. Some common CRC errors of outlook personal folders are:

• 'File pathfilename.pst could not be accessed. Data error. Cyclic redundancy check'

•  “Cannot find Microsoft Outlook.PST”

•  'Error 0x80040116'

As CRC error appears due to hard disk or corruption in individual outlook PST file, you can fix it in several ways.

If you use NTFS partitions, then right click on specific partition drive. Then click on properties option of the display bar. Go to tools option of that partition and click on check now. You’ll get following options:

• Automatically fix file system errors

• Scan for and attempt recovery for bad sectors

Select both options and restart the window. When the window restarts, the scandisk command will check the selected drive for bad sectors, free space and used space. If you find presence of large bad sectors in your window disk, take the backup of non-corrupted PST files of your outlook account and replace the hard disk. In case, the hard disk shows few bad sectors during disk scan, you can rename the Outlook.pst file as old.pst. Then use scanpst.exe tool of MS outlook to begin the repairing of Old.pst file. You can find the Outlook.pst file from the window start menu. Click on start/search/For files and folders/All files and folders, type Outlook.pst in the search box and start searching operation.

If CRC error is reported during copying PST file from network or CD, then first fix the hard disk error or LAN connection and then copy PST file again from the same location.
