Question : Corrupt jpeg will not open

I have a Maxtor external hard drive which I store many photos on in the camera's raw format and also the converted jpegs.  I have the photos broken down into several folders on the drive.  Recently, one of the folders seems to be corrupted and many jibberish folers are added to the drive.  I have run a data recovery software that seems to have found the files and I restored them to my C drive but when I try to open any of them in PS or any other browser I get the message unable to open invalid jpeg marker, or the file is truncated or incomplete,  or if it does open it is just a black and grey image.  Most of the other folders seem to be fine, but I can't understand what has happened to this one.

Kimsmith71,

Have you tried PhotoRescue from the DataRescue link I provided? (http://www.datarescue.com/)
