Corrupt DBX repair tool - free?

Aragorn · 10-05-2005, 13:41

My brother's PC crashed yesterday while OE was open (due to dodgy Promise driver). This has resulted his OE DBX folders being corrupted - OE thinks they are still open.

Does anyone know of a free fully functionally DBX repair tool? Google finds several limited trialware tools but wondered if there is anything that will do the job properly.

TIA

Unfortunately it only save the last 10 emails in each folder, unless you pay $40

Might try some of the trials later.

Why does he not restore from his backup, that way he will only lose a few days data at most?

Now where did he leave those tapes?

I did setup an automatic disk backup for him but it overwrites each night so I suspect it's saved the corrupted versions

Looks like the backup I scheduled has been doing didly squat since I set it up

None of the trials or DBxtract (as recommended by MS) found any emails in the corrupt DBX's

All because of a dodgy driver for the RAID controller - ironic really - trying to enable mirroring has lost a pile of emails!
