Havok Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Need some help here.. I recovered some .txt files(msn chat logs) using EASEUS Data Recovery. When i open them it is just garbled text, symbols, numbers etc. I also recovered .xml files that are chat logs and the same thing. Thinking maybe the files had been overwritten after deletion with other data, I then deleted another log and recovered it immediately but it is unreadable also. Before anyone asks I installed EASEUS on a separate drive and recovered the files off the bad drive to it. Is there some way for me to be able to read these files in proper English ? thanks This problem only happens with .txt or .xml files.I recovered mp3s and images files from over a year and a half ago off the drive and they open fine.

Rocky Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 It sounds to me like they are FUBAR mate, sorry. If you are desperate, I would suggest trying another file recovery tool, I am sure there are one or two free ones or at least with free trails that would do for this job. But it looks like that memory space was reused before the txt file could be recovered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
