Help!! Recovering recovered files?

Lord Auch

I hope someone can help with this problem.

Someone inadvertently deleted a folder with numerous Acad files in it. We ran a recovery program to get them back and apparently it was successful, the file retains all of its original properties, like size and suffix.
When I try to open the files in Auto cad I get an error message saying the file is not valid. I have tried to do an autocad recovery on the file but it says it is not recoverable.

Does anyone have any suggestions on getting these file to open??

Thx.

Its a double recovery. I recovered the files from the delete. Those recovered files wont open in ACAD.

I tried that. I also tried inserting the corrupt file as in insert, which didn't work.

different recovery programs use different techniques to re-create the MBR, and some work better with certain filesystems than others.

if you're using NTFS on win2k/xp, the best recovery program I've come across is Restorer 2000 pro

it's saved my ass (and friends' asses) on numerous occasions.
