Hello EE,
My HD crashed and lost its partitions. I used a program to restore the partitions but I could not get the drive to show its contents in windows explorer or in DOS mode. It was running Windows XP. In the end I put the HD in another computer and ran an unitiliy which grabbed all the JPEG family pictures from the damaged disk and stored them in a folder. A lot of the family pictures were recovered and I can open most of them but some seem to be corrupted. I tried a couple of utilities online to see if they could repair the images but none produced any results. One is at:
http://www.officerecovery.
I was thinking of using a binary text editor (I got XVI32) to see if I can repair the image header and the CRC so that I can at least see something. The problem is that I don't know much about JPEG images and www.jpeg.org doesn't seem to have much info there. Any ideas how I can get the remaining family pictures repaired (without taking them to an expensive recovering agency)?
Max.
