I recently managed to recover the data from a crashed hard drive, but unfortunately a lot of the files seem to be corrupt as when opened they only display a bunch of nonsense characters (its mostly .doc's and other office files).
I've tried a few 'file repair' utilities but none of them managed to fix anything (couple of them said the file headers were corrupt). Before I give up I thought I'd ask if any of the techies here have had any experience with this before, maybe with repairing file headers or something?
The unsuccessful apps were: Ontrack Easy Recovery, Nucleus Kernel Word, 'Recovery for Word', WordFIX, R-Word
Thanks, the files are probably hosed, but one can only ask
