Reading/Accessing Files results
Posted: 27 Apr 2015, 17:28
I've looked at the step by step instructions and am not sure how to use results. I ran a new system image and after found that all my files werent backed up so thats how i lost them.
I ran PhotoRec and it put a bunch of files in 7 recup_dir folders. I am mainly looking for a few word and excel files. The files all start with f and a number, i.e. f97570824 and have the type of of file. How/what is the best way to figure out what these files are and if the one I'm looking for is there. If I try and open a file that says its a word file with word a conversion box opens up and if I go through that the file that Word opens is gibrish. Same thing with note pad.
Could you tell me how I go through these files to find what out what they are?
Thank You
