One of my employees is in the sh*t as she has been running a computer with
Windows XP and
NO virus protection, and NOT backing up her files; so ALL the photos of her
kids over the last 8 years have
"gone down the tubes".
Having hooked her hard drive up to my Linux box I can see that all her JPG files have had
".xtxxxdn" attached to the
end of their names
Are the jpeg file okay and only their names end with xtxxxdn?
(NO, removing '.xtxxxdn' is insufficient), and likewise with DOC files.
What does that mean? Is it not possible?
Did you try to move the ipegs to an usb stick for example and tried to remove
the suffix under Mac OS X or Linux?
I can find no reference to '.xtxxxdn' on the internet and wonder if anyone on
the Use-List can help me, as one small
family would have a much happier Christmas if I could get all their family
photos back.
You could try if the free Norton Rescue tools still run under XP.

I keep my fingers crossed.

Thank you very much for your suggestions.
I have tried removing the suffixation on Linux and am still unable to
open the JPEGS:
"Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x9f 0xe1"
"Not a JPEG file: starts with 0x5f 0x13"
as you can see from those 2 example it looks as though the virus has
written stuff at the start of
the files.
I do not have access to a machine running Windows (I have machines
running Linux, Mac OS 10.5 and Mac OS 9.2).
However, I will try to see if the free Norton Rescue tools will run
under WINE 1.9.
Best, Richmond.
