Well it did for me anyway. According to HP the power button trick clears something on the motherboard.

OST files are weird magic, and most of the suggestions I can find talk about buying software to do this. So just incase someone else has the same issue, here is how I solved the problem. This does require access to the mail in the OST file through Outlook, which may not be possible in your situation. Machine A = Outlook with OST file, old mail Machine B = Outlook - Open Outlook on Machine A - Create a new, empty .pst file (yes pst). Make sure you save the pst file somewhere you can find it later. - Copy all the mail you want to transfer into the newly created pst file. I suggest COPY and not MOVE because you never know what can happen. - Close Outlook on Machine A - Copy the newly created .pst file onto Machine B. You may need to wait for Outlook to completely close the .pst file. Worst case, if Windows complains that the file is still open, reboot the machine. - Open Outlook on Machine B - Import the newly created .pst file Voila. YMMV. I take no responsibility for any loss or damage incurred following these instructions. http://www.numbersix.net/mt-archives/001445.html http://www.numbersix.net/mt-archives/001445.html technology Tue, 18 Dec 2012 11:01:00 +0100 h+ h- So there I go.

This space is reclaimed if free space runs low. You will see (sometimes wildly) varying differences between df, disk util and finder on how much space there is free. Finder will tell you what you can use up, i.e. what space will be available after local backups are deleted to make space.]]> http://www.numbersix.net/mt-archives/001443.html http://www.numbersix.net/mt-archives/001443.html mac Mon, 30 Jul 2012 12:35:27 +0100 http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1982861]]> http://www.numbersix.net/mt-archives/001442.html http://www.numbersix.net/mt-archives/001442.html unix Thu, 12 Jul 2012 09:37:43 +0100 Lovely though zsh is, the confirmation after typing "rm *" is just wrong.
