Entourage X database retrieval HELP!

[MusicMover]

Hi,

I've read other postings of this issue, but no resolution, nor a final
answer for what is/is not possible when it comes to data retrieval.

My Entourage X crashed and will not allow a rebuild (no space on disk)
because 3.92 GB of memory were used out of 4 GB. I had received
notice of this in the few days leading up to it and promptly deleted
large attached files and other large files. When I continued to get
the message, I tried the basic rebuild and it failed because of no
available space. I cannot open my Entourage as it insists that I
rebuild and crashes. How can I reclaim my database?

Details:
Mac G5
OSX 10.4.11
Entourage X

THanks,

Sean


I ran the Disk Utility and it seems that there is a problem with one
of two hard drives. I don't think that has any bearing upon this
issue though.

You can buy another drive and install the OS and Office X on it to recover.
I suggest a 500GB drive. I do recovery for clients. If you are interested in
my services contact me off list.
