I recovered a RAR file from a USB stick using Recuva recovery software. The file is recovered with its original name and the .rar extension,
but it's not recognized when I try to open it. I get the errors: "The archive is either in unknown format or damaged" and "No archives found"
The file is the original size. I did not use the USB after deleting the file. So nothing was written to the USB. Recuva (the recovery software)
says the file is in excellent condition and no overwritten clusters are detected. It looks like the file is the original but nothing will open it.
The file is encrypted with a password, so I don't know if that has any issue with the recovery.
Everything looks normal with the file.. but I can't open it with WinRAR or 7 Zip. Also, the rar repair tools don't recognize it.
Any help would be appreciated.
