Recover Mac formated HDD

[tintin74]

Hello,

I have bought your software, R-Studio, to recover a hard drive that I have formated by mistake. Once the recovery scan is complete, I can see the folder structure, and the folders that I want to recover, however none of the files there can be open, as what ever kind of file extension I try to open, the error states that it cannot open that kind of files, when for exemple I try to open a word document in the Word software.

Any way to work around that?

Thanks for your help.

How was it formatted before than your format event?

Was it HFS+ (apple)? Or something else (e.g. some Linux or Windows)

Have you looked into the Raw Files folder? Many files may be there, unfortunately, without file names and the original folder structure.

It may be that the starting offset of the found file system partition isn't where it's supposed to be. When that happens with HFS+, file/folder structure will all be trying to open at the wrong place. You may just need to manually identify and carve out a custom region with the correct starting offset.

Yes, it was formated with HFS+ before.
