Andrew is correct about the Read Only Attribute. Robert, you actually have some choices: 1. Use CD-R/W instead of CDR disks. I would only do this if you already have CD-R/W capabilities on the clients system, otherwise this would not work and it would be cost prohibitive to upgrade the drives. 2. Add additional disk space to your file server system, and locate the large PSTs on the network file server. I personally like this idea, because it gives the Network Administrator the ability to backup the PST. The down side is increased network traffic and increased server disk utilization. 3. Add move disk space to the client's PC. Most companies adopt the 3 year lifecycle for workstations. That means 33% of all PC's are replaced every year. When replacing these PST hogs, make sure they get larger drives.
Lastly, keep in mind, if the users are building large PST's (ie. 500MB+ PSTs, with over 20,000 items in it), you have another more serious problem. Corruption of the PST may cause them to loose everything (I have seen grown men cry in these situation...very sad to see).

Take a look at this: http://www.educom.on.ca/prd_eas.htm You could probably come up with a home-made solution similar to this but you will need rewritable media, like an optical jukebox. -----Original Message----- From: McCready, Robert [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, February 26, 2002 4:57 PM To: Exchange Discussions Subject: Burning PST files. Is it possible to burn PST files to a CD and still use them? We have some users with very large PST files that are gobbling up server space. We tried burning a PST file to a CD, but we were then unable to access it. Even after copying the file back to their home drive and trying to take ownership of it. Has anybody had any success with this? Exchange 5.5 SP4, NT 4.0 SP6. Thanks.
