Windows 10: How do I make System Restore Skip corrupted files ? Or at least inject new files into a...

I have a HUGE problem right now and it seems the only way to fix it is by using System Restore. HOWEVER System Restore simple Refuses to function and it keeps dropping me different 0x--- errors. Every time I tried, it reaches a corrupted file and simply aborts the process. It even tells me to go back to a different Restore Point named "Undo", but that Point gives me the same errors.


This is the 4th day I am fighting this problem. There is no solution other than modifying the System Restore Points to either exclude the problematic files, or replace them with blank ones or whatever.

Corrupted file RAR

If the archive has been created using WinRAR, why don't you try WinRAR itself? It has a built-in repair feature for repairing corrupted archive (ZIP as well as RAR). Follow the steps given below:

• Open WinRAR application in your system.
• Now click on File tab > Open or simply press Ctrl+O.
• A small window "Find Archive" will pop up. Locate the corrupt RAR archive from your system directory and select it.
• Now click Open button.
• Click Tools tab > Repair archive or simply press Alt+R.
• Again a small window "Repairing File name.rar" will pop up.
• Now click Browse to select a location to save the repaired archive.
• Check the box "Treat the corrupt archive as RAR" and click OK.
• WinRAR will start repairing of corrupt RAR archive. Once it gets completed click Close.

I hope the above steps will help you repair the corrupted RAR archive.

Thanks.

 

Corrupt files when restored

Hello everyone,
The story goes like this: I accidentally deleted all my photos of a 3 month long trip I had from my 2TB backup drive *Bang Head :banghead: (!!!).
I noticed it after two weeks and the drive was in use (It also a storage for movies and such).
I had tried "GetDataBack for NTFS" and luckily all the files and folders are found in their original size and order.
However, when I try to restore them all the files appears to be corrupt.
I know chances are against me but I'm willing to try anything to restore them.
Anyone with experience in the matter is welcome to offer a solution.

Few more things that might be relevant:
the photos are JPEG but few (very important ones) are BMP .
there are also movies in AVI. The total of all files is ~20GB. and all of them come out corrupt.
I have some of the files intact and valid in a different folder, so maybe a comparison can help (Just an idea).
File system is NTFS. OS is Windows 7 64bit.
Thanks

 

Corrupt files when restored

Took me a while to answer, and follow the instructions.
Here are the results:
Restoring from the 2TB drive failed and the FAQ page on GetDataBack site explains this scenario (file name found but on valid data to restore on NTFS) quite well.
Recuva software also found the files by name but they weren't valid to restore. For the next part Recuva wasn't helpful, too.
I decided to try a different approach. I managed to find an old HDD (that I stopped using because it fell and "got" bad sectors) that had the photos. I used R-Studio program to skip those sectors (manually, they were too much for the program to ignore in sequential scan) and managed to restore all of them (I think).
Thanks for the help.
Hope it helps someone.
