How to repair corrupt JPG and AVI files ?

Hi guys

I am looking for some softwares that can repair corrupt JPG and AVI files.

Acutally, I formatted the hard drive but later found out some of the important files were not backed up so I purchased a software called Getdataback NTFS. Before formating the hard drive those files were OK. It recovered all those files but unfortunately half of them appears to be corrupted.

I used Videofixer 3.23 to recover Avi files unfortunately it recovered only 11 out of 137.
I have no idea whether there is any software that can repair JPG files. File's size seem OK but can't be opened.

Please suggest me which softwares can repair corrupt JPG and AVI files.

Thanks in advance.

DivFix (http://www.divx-digest.com/software/divfix.html) is another small utility that can fix .avi files that are encoded in DivX.

VirtualDub (http://www.virtualdub.org/) is a program that may also be able to recover your .avi files by re-indexing and re-encoding them.

I can't think of any programs offhand that can fix corrupt .jpg files.

I used all of them but NO luck.

It's just saying "file format not recognised" and "this is not avi file". :(

Jpg format also did not recognised.

any other software ?

Thank you.

You can try this one for JPG - I've used it on Flash media, but there's no reason for it not to work on a HD.

It has a free demo that allows you to see what the program will recover in thumbnail form, but not save it. Saving it will cost you $29

Hope that helps,
