saw a video on data recovery. I got the photo rec to find and load recovered files to folders numbered all the way up to over 100. I see xml files and doc and pdf files but none will open. Is there a secret to opening recovered file. If this is not the right area to post please let me know where. I have to get these files open for a customer.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
