    ddrescueview

    ddrescueview

    Graphical viewer for GNU ddrescue mapfiles

    This small tool allows the user to graphically examine ddrescue's mapfiles in a user friendly GUI application. The Main window displays a block grid with each block's color representing the block types it contains. Many people know this type of view from defragmentation programs. The program is written in Object Pascal using the Lazarus IDE. It can be compiled to run on Windows, GNU/Linux and probably OS X, too. The downloads include binaries for the respective target platform and the project files (source code). Update 2022/02/25: ddrescueview version 0.4.5 has been released. This maintenance release restores compatibility with ddrescue 1.24 and later. Please consider testing this version. Report issues in the bug tracker if you have a sourceforge account, or by email to <mbit-kiel@users.sourceforge.net>

    Savvy DOCX Recovery

    Savvy DOCX Recovery

    Open corrupt Word DOCX files and possibly recover formatting too.

    XML was designed from the beginning to be intolerant of errors. This decision adversely affects MS Word's corruption recovery. With one error in the document.xml subfile where all the DOCX file's text is stored, instead of a partial recovery, Word will stop and throw an error. Savvy DOCX Recovery attempts to do precise surgery on corrupt Word documents to reorder or excise bad XML tags. If this doesn't work, it uses the command line app xmllint first to attempt to repair corrupt XML subfiles of the DOCX. If this doesn't work a second attempt is made where the corrupt XML subfiles are truncated at the first error, and the correct ending tags are again added with xmllint. If all else fails, SilverCoder's DocToText is used to extract text. Try also http://wordcorruptdocchecker.codeplex.com/ and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2528942 and my other SF projects: Corrupt Extractor for Microsoft Office, Corrupt DOCX Salvager, S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Word.

    S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Word

    S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Word

    Brings into one place MS methods for recovering files that won't open

    Microsoft recommends methods for recovering corrupt Word files that won't open. This software provides buttons to easily invoke these as well as providing 5 independent methods for recovering and opening corrupt Microsoft Word DOC & DOCX files. Additionally the program provides links to two pieces of freeware not coded by the author, a free service (if you can wait 14 days!) and a featured commercial solution (which is an affiliate of the author's). Also it has its own native previous file version recovery tool which works in any version of Windows, Vista-Windows 10 if System Protection has been turned on in the System App of the Control Panel and a Restore Point made. Another feature is a GUI interface for finding temporary, deleted and lost versions of corrupt files. Future plans are to implement Microsoft's instructions for recovering corrupt Word files that will open. This program was formerly known as Word Recovery and more recently S2 Services Word Recovery

    Previous Version File Recoverer

    Previous Version File Recoverer

    Easily recover previous versions of files in Windows Vista, 7 and 8.

    Starting with Vista, Windows allows the recovering of previous versions of files without a dedicated backup. These previous versions are stored in "System Snapshots" as "Shadow Copies" whenever a Restore Point is made by the system or manually made by the user from the System Protection tab of the System App in the Control Panel. Microsoft limited this feature in Vista to the Business Editions. Home Basic and Premium do not have it, hence the need for this program. It turns out in Windows 8 the feature has been deprecated. The tab is not available except by accessing the computer as if it were over a network. However Previous Version File Recoverer still works, as does an alternative piece of freeware named Shadow Explorer. This version fixes a major flaw which prevented the recovery of files other than those saved on the operating system partition. This program was previously known as Vista Previous Version File Recoverer and Windows Previous Version Recoverer.

    S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Excel

    S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Excel

    Makes easy MS recommended Excel recovery methods - adds 5 of its own.

    Microsoft recommends several methods for recovering Excel data from corrupt spreadsheets. S2 Recovery Tools for Microsoft Excel makes it easy to follow these recommended routines by just pressing buttons. The application also adds five methods of its own for recovery. Additionally it has its own native previous file version recovery tool which works in any version of Vista, Windows 7 and Windows 8. Another feature of the program is a preloaded search interface for finding temporary, deleted and lost versions of your corrupt file. For completeness sake the program has shortcuts to 2 major commercial solution providers for corrupt Excel files including providing the coupon "S2SERVICES" for using Recoveronix' online corrupt file recovery service for free until Nov 1, 2014, a $39 value. This program was formerly known as Excel Recovery and more recently, S2 Services Excel Recovery.

    Corrupt DOCX Salvager

    Corrupt DOCX Salvager

    Extract text from corrupt DOCX files where Word itself fails.

    Previously known as Damaged DOCX2TXT, this GUI program will extract text from damaged/corrupted Word 2007 - 2013 DOCX format documents. DOCX files are actually zipped collections of mostly XML files. The main text in docx files is found in document.xml file in the collection. Corrupt DOCX Salvager uses 7Zip, an unzipper that sometimes unzips partially corrupt document.xml files despite reporting an error. XML as a format is unforgiving of data corruption but Corrupt DOCX Salvager uses a Perl routine used to extract the text from the document.xml file which doesn't care about well-formed XML, a recovery stumbling block for Microsoft Word. Recent changes include the pretreatment of docx files with InfoZip's zip.exe -FF repair command, improving success rates. Also added are links to other solutions. If you are unsatisfied with the results, try my other corrupt Word recovery capable programs here on Sourceforge, S2 Recovery Tools for Word and Savvy DOCX Recovery.

    Savvy Repair for Microsoft Office

    Savvy Repair for Microsoft Office

    Repairs/Recovers Corrupt MS Office 2007 - 2013 Format Files

    DOCX, XLSX and PPTX files are collections of conventionally zipped mostly XML sub-files. This program first attempts repair any zip based corruption. From there it engages in four different algorithmic attempts at repair or recovery. With the first method using validation, the location of the first XML error is sought. At that point the sub-files are truncated and repaired. The second method works the same way except the XML validation is more lax. With the third, the strict XML validation is returned to and corrupt XML sub-files are truncated and repaired as before however, missing XML sub-files are brought in from blank full healthy docx, xlsx or pptx of the respective correct extension. The fourth method uses SilverCoder's DocToText to salvage text or data after which the file is opened as an old style MS Office 97 - 2003 format file including the naked recovered text or data. See my other projects here on Sourceforge for other ways to recover corrupt MS and Open Office files.

    Corrupt Extractor for Microsoft Office

    Corrupt Extractor for Microsoft Office

    Extracts text/data from corrupt MS Office 2007-13 format files.

    Corrupt Office 2007 Extractor will extract the text/data from corrupt docx, xlsx, and pptx files where the respective MS Office files error out and refuse to open. In advanced mode the program can fix the zip structure of "Office Open XML" format files, a step which I now recommend despite our dissuasive blurb which comes up when you start that function. Advanced mode also allows recovering images and includes is a basic editor for editing the corrupt XML subfiles. Additionally I recommend trying some of my other programs on Sourceforge which help with corrupt office files using different algorithms than this present program: Savvy DOCX Recovery, S2 Recovery Tools for Word, Corrupt XLSX Salvager, S2 Recovery Tools for Excel and Corrupt PPTX Salvager. Also take a look at these free corrupt Word repair programs: http://wordcorruptdocchecker.codeplex.com/ and https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2528942 (featuring a Microsoft Mr. Fixit App).

    Excel Recovery Add-In

    Excel Recovery Add-In

    Add-In gathers MS recommended ways for uncorrupting Excel files.

    Update: It is probably wise to try to do a zip repair step on corrupt xlsx files as a first step before trying to invoke other methods. Microsoft recommends several methods for recovering from Excel corruption. This Excel add-in brings into one toolbar these methods while adding four data recovery methods of its own. For MS methods for recovering from Excel file corruption, see: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-corrupted-files-in-excel-HA001034656.aspx or here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/repairing-a-corrupted-workbook-HA010097017.aspx.
