Hi techies, I'm new to this forum so please be gentle with me.
I recently deleted my HD patitions but managed to retreive most of the data however upon launching word docs, mp3's or jpg & jpegs, I get errors for each, for Mp3's & Avi's I get missing or corrupt codecs, for jpgs I get a similar error and when the word doc launches it produces gibberish.
Do's anyone know how these can be repaired, I'm not too bothered abt the Mp3's but certainly the pics as these have sentimental family value.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks Again People

There comes a point in every computer-reliant person's life when they lose a hard disc. Or the contents thereof. Or the computer it lives in. Or its boot details or partition details. Or its integrity. That is when we achieve a higher plane and see the light. We take the pain and use it to grow, to become more than we were.

For there are two kinds of people on this earth: those who have lost a disc and take backups, and those yet to learn why they should take backups.

Select:

a) You've lost your documents. Move on. Learn, grow and buy a backup solution.

b) If you do not know what the files contained before they were corrupted, why should some software? Your only chances are either you took a physical copy of the disc prior to trying recovery, or you used a non-destructive recovery process. If the latter, it may still be possible to achieve a full recovery of the disc if you haven't written (too much) to it since the disaster. It will be a world of pain and take ages but this may be recoverable. It is even possible to recosntruct a deleted partition table - I know 'cos I've done it. So, in precise detail, what method did you use to get these files off? And have you written to the disc since then?
