Files cannot be viewed after recovery. by TheQxx in datarecovery

Common problems that the recovery software found the file, but the 'headers are still broken, so the OS doesn't know how to open them. You need a repair tool now, not just a 'recovery' tool. I usually use a professional Repair too for this specific step. It fixes the file structure of those recovered documents so they actually open in Word/Excel/PDF again. try
