After my last HD corruption I had to recover with Scavenger my lost data from My Hard Disk(2 HD in Raid 0 configuration).

I do manage to recover my Personal Photos but here is the problem.
All the pics are badly damaged and seems that I cant find any utility or program to recover them.I try several Demos like PicRecovery etc. but they are not manage to do the job.

Another strange thing is that I receive an error message when I try to upload one of these shots in Photobucket...
So in order to see how my shots looks like I take a photo of one of them.

Here it is

Any kind of help would be much appriciated.

Thanks In advance Guys. :(

You didn't make backup copies of your photos and important data?

RAID0 is the most risky RAID setup and the chance of data corruption is very high, so doing regular data backups is highly recommended and should be part of your regular system maintenance routine.

As far as recovering these corrupted files, I really don't think you'll be able to restore them to their original state.

Maximum PC just tried a pricey program out and was not thrilled with it:

It may or may not do the job. For $150, I'd like more reassurance...

edit: Dooh! -- I just re-read your post and saw you've tried that one already....
