corrupted jpegs

[JohnZing]

Hi
I bought a new drive because drive c is full.
Then i move all my photo albuns from drive c to the new drive d.
30-50% of the jpeg pictures (now in drive D) had been corrupted
(green/black zones, cant open some,...)
Why? How can i recover the corrupted files?
What should i do to prevent from happening again?
Thank you

Sounds like the images were corrupted when you copied them. Do you have a
long IDE/ATA cable to this new drive?

Have you already deleted them from Drive C: ? Perhaps you
can pursue a Data Recovery from C:, if you haven't used the
PC that much since deleting the photos.

Unless you have a backup, the answer is painfully obvious. I'm
unaware of any .Jpeg repair utilities.

i plugged the new disk to the same cable. Old disk is master and new disk
slave (jumper in "cable select" position)
thank you

Seems ok. I think I would try and run a drive test program - perhaps the
manufacturer has on you can download.

Is your power supply big enough?

Huh?

 

[CWatters]

Huh?

Not unreasonable I thought. He's just added a new hard drive and the
corruption happened when copying files from the original drive to the new
one. Either the new drive is faulty or perhaps his power supply is now
overloaded or marginal.

New angle, I guess. )
