Repair CR2 Files

[Sean van Tonder]

Please help. I mistakenly deleted files from my hard drive. I was able to recover the files with "Easy Recover" software, but now the files are corrupt. The files appear to be normal size - 6 -9 mb each, but I can not view them or open them. I tried converting them to DNG, but still no luck. Any advice will be appreciated.

Thanks Alroy, still no luck. Strangley the files are the original size, but have no pixels. These are pics I took on my recent trip to Mfolozi. Photographer a pack of wild dogs playing. It would be a real loss if I am unable to retrieve the files.

I have run quite a few versions of different software to try and retrieve the files, but all appear to be the same.

Any other ideas anyone? Can anyone suggest any other software?

Well, you can also use CR2 recovery software for recovering your lost CR2 files safely. As the software is specially designed for making recovery of lost CR2 files. I have used it for my CR2 files recovery and it proved to be a nice tool to me.
