I just used some freeware file recovery programs and it found the files I was looking to recover...but when I try to open them (in MS Word) a window pops up saying 'File COnversion' Select the encoding that makes your document readable. Text encoding: Windows - MS-DOS - Other Encoding.
None of these work at all. Is there a way to make the files readable...it all comes up as gibberish. Does this mean they're corrupt? It's on a drive that isn't used very often and there's a lot of files to recover...I would have thought that if one of them was written over then at least some of them would have worked.
EG: á !x ¿–ŽO& ëh ª È ¤¯rÿ‰É$âçô@«® zP°‰¿ÿ

Any help would be REALLY appreciated!!
