I did some data recovery on a formatted hard drive and got quite of bit of data back. The problem is the MS Word and excell documents are unreadable. Does any body know of a program to fix them?
 
it's been a while since i did this, but you have to set the header file up.

using a hex editor look at the first line of the data (not the file) and make sure the format is correct.

to do this, just look (using a hex editor) at an existing ord or Excel file and compare the header file.

once you fix this the file will be readable with Word/Excel.
