I have a truncated Notes file, which got corrupted during a drive crash.
It is not available on any server, so re-replicating or restoring from backup is not an option.
Nfixup reports:
Enter password (press the Esc key to abort):
09/17/2007 15:19:15 Database Fixup: Started
09/17/2007 15:19:15 Unable to fixup database c:\notesarchive.nsf: File truncated - file may have been damaged
09/17/2007 15:19:15 Database Fixup: Shutdown
I tried Unistals Quick Recovery for Lotus Notes, which promises to extract the messages and attachments, even from the truncated files. However, it extracts 1 message, and then crashes tried it on 2 different computers with the same results.
Help me please...how to recover the file?

What has this to do with DataTables? Why have you posted it here?
The best way to do it is to rename the file then force a replication from a known good server.
If it is not too corrupted you can do an updall -r and it will rebuild the indexes.
Try running nfixup.exe against it. If that doesn’t work, try ncompact -c against it.
Note: ncompact exists in all workstation installs. nfixup is not part of the client — you can copy it off a server that runs at a similar NBotes version.
Make sure to use the -c option with compact (ncompact -c whatever\your\file.nsf)
