FIle Recovery after ghost image

I have a student here that needs files off a computer that was recently imaged with xp pro (no drivers or software).  I have a Bart PE disk and used getbackdata for NTFS.  I see all of the files (docs, .jpgs. and music), however after I transfer the data to a usb drive, none of the files will open.  All the file sizes are correct.

Any suggestions, just need to inform the student of their options.

Thanks,
John

Suggestions were made to check the recovered data and that the data is probably lost and a reason specified for this.  Questioner agreed that the data is most likely lost.
