[Solved] Corrupt .doc file after computer crash

Post by zudeonim »

Hello, this is my first time here.

I had a computer crash, and a .doc file I was working on became corrupt.
Is anyone able to attempt to recover it, please ?
I am having no luck !

Thanks !

File seems utterly corrupt and blank. Had you been working in .odt format something might have been recovered.

You can try opening it yourself with a Hex editor - you will see that it is all 00 characters.
