Question

Why am I unable to preview some of the images/music/movies/etc., found by Search and Recover?

Answer

Generally, this occurs when the file in question has become damaged or corrupted to such an extent that Windows can no longer view the file, resulting in the inability of Search and Recover to preview the file.

In some cases, files that have experienced this degree of corruption can be recovered, but their data content is most likely lost and inaccessible.
