Install recovery software updates whenever they are released, as they fix bugs.

Make sure you are using the updated version of the recovery software.

Install antivirus on your computer so that the recovery software and the process is not affected by any virus or malware infections.

Always download a secure and safe data recovery software from a trusted source.

Some of the important ways to avoid file corruption after recovery are:

How to avoid corruption in files after recovery? However, note that if the corrupt files have missing data or some clusters are overwritten, then even a file repair tool cannot work. In any case, when the files recovered are found to be corrupt, use a video and photo repair tool to fix them.

Sudden system shutdown or OS crash during file recovery.

Bad sectors in the drive from which you lost the files.

Bad sectors in the drive in which you stored the recovered files.

Recovered files were already corrupt before recovery.

Use of unreliable data recovery software.A recovered file can get corrupt due to many reasons, such as The basic reason behind an image or video not opening after recovery or showing errors is corruption in the file header or data. You can download it as a bootable ISO so add this into your VM and machine should boot to the tool leaving disks unlocked for surface checks.Why sometimes recovered media files don’t open? My next try was going to be to use this making sure REMAP was set ON (this is capable of low level scan and sector repairing by remapping the damaged sectors to another area of the disk). In the process of hunting though – I also found which is a very powerful low level disk utility. I then ran chkdsk / b on the host machine (which took forever) but did flag up a couple of blocks as bad and sorted it for me. In my case basic chkdsk tests were fine, editing HyperV disk failed with CRC error every time. Run chkdsk from within vhd (assuming its still opening) – if its a C drive you can attach it direct to another machine (via disk management) so its not in use.The normal recommended approach is to try the simple things first: Sometimes the can appear fine, but you are unable to move / copy them as they are written over a bad sector on the disk and the copy process appears to be working fine but then stalls – often with an error about can’t read.
