Hi,

I have an external USB HDD. It has 10 folders on it of music and pics.
My main mp3 file was about 10gb big . 8 files ok but 2 corrupted.

Now when I try to open it it says files are corrupted and unable to open. The properties of the folder show it empty.

Please help

    This might worth a shot - haven't used it myself, but it's a 45 day trial:

    Thanks for the suggestion.
    I installed it and it spent ages scanning the PC and seemed to be doing something .
    The next step was to hit the restore button... I was so happy! . I quickly hit the restore now and...... up came a popup saying not available on trail version , please hit BIN and spend $70 .

    Ah well,cheers anyhow
