While trying to back up my hard drive before service trip, I loaded folders
"A, B & C" and selected copy to CD-R/RW. Folder "C" was very large and
caused the wizard to stop and say, cannot write files to CD, File too large.
I deleted the temp files and went back and copied folders "A & B" to CD and
wrote complete. These two folders are now saved on CD, and they are in
perfect shape. The originals on hard drive for folders "A & B" and also the
large folder "C" are now unviewable files. I can see the names of each file
and their size and they all have the correct file name, i.e.... jpg, bmp...
but none of them will open up in any program. It is strange that the folders
"A & B" on the hard drive are bad but the copied versions on CD are good.
The only thing I can think of that happened after the write and delete
command was I performed a spybot search and destroy. Spybot didn't find
anything unusual and I have since gone back and did an undo to that search
and destroy. I have also gone back and tried a system restore to several
weeks ago. Nothing seems to help. Is there a disc restore program or a file
restore program that can look at a jpg, bmp file and reconfigure it back to
a readable form. All of the files are there in their original folders and
have the correct file size listed, but none will open up. Any help would be
greatly appreciated, this folder had three years of family photos on it.
