Personal Geodatabases are Microsoft Access databases that can store, query, and manage both spatial and nonspatial data. See here. You should have no problem accessing a Microsoft Access MDB using ArcGIS 10.0.

Hi Jake, I wasn't quite clear in my post. I know that personal geodatabases are Access databases. What I'm trying to do is convert an non-pgdb into a pgdb but I don't see any option to do that.
You can copy the Access tables into a PGDB later on, but I'm pretty sure there is no mechanism to "spatially enable" an existing Access database. Given the lack of PGDB support with 64-bit ArcGIS Server 10.1, it doesn't seem like this has much future as an ideas.esri.com suggestion.
You won't have to do any additional steps to convert you MDB to a PGD. For example, if I create a MDB in Access I can immediately begin to use this with ArcGIS. I can import/export feature classes, create tables, etc. with the database.

I tried that but I get the following error each time
ERROR 000210: Cannot create output L:\tmp\NRCS\soildata\clallam_incl_FS\soildb_WA_2003.mdb\soilmu_a_wa632 Failed to execute (FeatureClassToFeatureClass).
