I had an issue with a WD external USB 2.0 drive I was using for backups - the plug got yanked out and the contents of the drive disappeared and the USB controller would no longer work.
I pulled the drive out and installed it as a SATA drive. Using GetDataBack I can recover some files but there are a number of files of various types - audio, video, images, text - that GetDataBack recognizes the name and type of file but they seem to be corrupted - i.e. can't be viewed or what comes up is gibberish. No preview available on .jpg files, "unable to play" messages on video files, etc. While building the recovery tree, there were a number of "unknown error" prompts that came up.
Can anything be done about these files or are they likely unrecoverable?
Thanks.
