File Corruption

N

Neil G

Hi folks,

A client of mine used a tool to 'clean up' his hard drive, and it did
more damage than good, resulting in a reload of his system from
recovery disk.
Prior to this, I managed to use a restorer2000 to find many of his
Word Docs that had gone missing.

After re-loading Office XP, or even 2000, any Doc he opens is just a
load of ascii characters interspersed with 'page break' or other such
breaks, but no discernable text at all

I have prepared him for the worst, but wondered if anyone has
successfully recovered from such a scenario. It looks to me as if
these files have become corrupt by his actions.

Thanks
Neil
