There is no telling what happened in 'was able' here. All kinds of

Perhaps some kind of rambunctious file recovery program was run.

Uh oh. He should go to his backups. He /does/ have backups; doesn't
everyone?

have a look for .chk files (they may be hidden)
if there are any try renaming them with the jpg extension
If that does not do the trick then they are gone!
Maybe now he will believe all the people that told him to back up his
data...he probably should not have ignored them
The only reliable method of recovering from a hard drive failure (which
you don't specifically mention although *we* need to know) is backups,
incremental and full with two copies of each at all times. Jpeg pictures
use a lossy compression method virtually identical to encryption and unless
the file type tag is at the beginning (which you can tell with a hex/binary file
viewer) you have no way to know how many sectors are missing or right
and recovery of that is impossible.
Tell him *not* to use a backup program, but to create a directory to put
copies of what to backup and anytime he creates a new data file, he puts
a copy of it or the resulting directory there. Then he just has to write
that directory to a closed session CD monthly, and make a second copy on
another. Checking both. Every week, he takes the files from that week
and creates an incremental backup on another such disk. This way the
most he can lose is one weeks work.
Hard drives die. We hear the result here virtually every week. No one
makes backups. Hence our hearing about it.

The *ONLY* way to recover corrupted JPEG's is to format the hard drive.

Of course, the easier option is a USB HDD, hey, chucktard? Followed, of
course, by only occasional backups to DVD, not CD. You fuckwitted, know-
nothing nincompoop.

Try different programs to open the files. Some programs open
slightly corrupted files others won't. Also, try converting the
corrupt jpg's to BMP's and see what you can do with those. These
approaches have often worked for me.

No, I said 5 to ten years depending on the amount of time that the
computer is on and the hard drives are spinning. I've also seen in
happen numerous times and never more than 10 years after the drive was
installed.

Hovark thank you. I'll indirectly get to that punk ass bitch King Ass
Kisser No Balls Yellow Back Poaster through you, as his reads your posts
and kisses your panties ! :)
What am I, DUH-ane? Some kind of dating service or something?
You make yer own moves.
What? The punk hides behind someone's drawls like yours and ass kiss
attacks that's the old punk's MO! :)
That's what the old punk Poaster lives for is a brown nose attack, and
the old punk doesn't have the guts to go one-on-one with anybody.
Have you seen that punk to it any other way?

1. brown noser
A person who acts favorably to his or her peers to gain stasis or fancy
that will eventually be used to their advantage. Such as a raise,
promotion, or acceptance in a group. Usually brown nosers will do
anything to gain the approval of their person of choice. These people
can also be described as losers because they can’t work for what they
want, instead they play dirty and butter-up the boss/teacher/peer into
getting what they want. Another word for this person is a shoe shiner or
a rough translation of brown noser in Spanish is, an eye licker.

Nothing new there at all.
On a completely different note, Berserker is almost ready for beta
testing. There are some major features missing at the moment and they'll
take a few days to get done. However my eldest daughter whom I have not
seen for many years is flying here to Indonesia from Darwin tomorrow
night for the weekend so there will be a few days delay with Berserker.
Damn! Where am I going to hide my four 18yr old, pert-breasted rent-wives?
Nothing new here who would want to be around a crack pot like you? Your
daughter probably ran away just to get away from you. Maybe, she'll be
packing a gun and blow your brains out!
Your sorry ass with a kid?
Many kids. And they are breeding, DUHane.
HTH
Yeah, the are all breeding with you. Who are you kidding K-Incest, you
Alien ass-hole? :)
Your kids are most likely messed-up, because of you!
Hey, can you still drop an egg and shot some sperm you you old creature?
You K-Incest a brown noser? I am disappointed in you. But you got more
balls than No Balls Dumb Willy Poaster. He's a brown noser too.

You know, DUHane, it never ceases to amaze me that your subconscious can
be tricked so easily into a performing an on-demand, knee-jerk public
revelation of your innermost thoughts.
It's just a game stupid. Do you think it's anymore than that? You know,
I don't think you are the real K-Man. There is no way in hell you are

That's not the real K-Man. This K-Man impersonator is a brown noser. The

Hey. Now there's an idea... My daughter is unaware that her father is a
total pervert who pays young women 33+ years his junior to be one of his
wives for a few months. I'll dress them up as elves and make up some
bullshit about Santa accidentally leaving them behind because they drank
too much arak and methanol.
PS: Don't bother looking arak up on google. It's all wrong. Arak is rice
wine.
Or I'll make them wear maids' outfits and tell her they're the staff.
Shite! What about the hulking great 5'4" security guard posted out the
front?
Don't laugh. 5 foot 4 inches over here is gigantic, and scary to the
locals. None of the men have enough hormones to grow belly-button fluff,
let alone side burns, or, God forbid, a partial beard.
I'm fucking famous over here, you know. I have hairy man boobies and an
equally hairy belly.
Just what the fuck is it that made you suppose I was posting a followup,
you less than fucking useless titscab on a 10c whore?

Good God, man! Four nubile young rent-wives gadding about in tiny French
