Hi everyone,

I formatted my HD, when I check my CD where I had Backup my drawing I couldn't read it. So I am now trying to recover those drawing from the HD. I bought File Scavenger 2.1 and I got them all back but I ca not open those drawings.

Does anyone know what i can do next?

Thanks
 
First. Stop using the drive until you've expended all possibilities of getting the data back. Sounds like the data you've extracted so far is corrupt due to fragmentation or overwrites. Continued use of the drive will overwrite existing data making things worse.

Second. If the data is critical, look for a data recovery service that can help. You can send one request and get multiple replies for data recovery service at
Last. For Do-It-Yourself information and specific software suggestions for data extraction go to
Good Luck!
