salvaging corrupted 7zip files
Posted: Fri Jan 22, 2010 1:39 am
I recently made a big boo-boo and reinstalled windows and lost all of my files I thought I had backed up. I used a data recovery program to get back lots of .7z backup archives I had of my files.
The problem is the .7z files i recovered "can't be opened as archive" which makes me think there may be some corrupt headers or some corrupt data. How can I salvage what I can from within these 7zip archives? Is anything possible? I'm sure there's lots of (or at least a little bit of) good data inside there.
