Windows 10: Restoring missing, corrupted, and or deleted system files

Do both system restore and sfc /scannow restore system files if they are missing, corrupted, and or deleted?

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

 

Missing file after failed restore. Error:rtl100.bpl missing

Hi Marg,

There are several factors that can contribute to issue your facing with doing a restore for you Windows 10 computer. This could be caused by missing update components or corrupted system files. For us to resolve your concern with the programs not opening
and just showing an error, kindly answer the questions below:

• Was the error message showing up on just a specific program you attempted to launch or is it showing up on any program that you attempted to launch?
• Were there any error messages that showed up when you attempted to perform the restore on your computer?

As a initial recommendation, we suggest the you run a SFC Scan (System File Check). This command will scan all the protected operating system files and replaces incorrect, corrupted, changed, or damaged versions with the correct versions where possible.
You can check this

We look forward to your response once you complete the steps.

 

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.
