Hi,

I tried with Stellar Phoenix Word recovery but it says that the document is damaged too severe. The raw text it displays is just rubbish.

Sorry

If the word document is damaged, I would say that more was written to the drive after the quick format or there is an issue with your recovery method.

If you look at the word file with something like Winhex and compare it to a healthy file you can clearly see that the entire file is corrupt.

To me the file looks like some uncompressed image format.

The "GV110105" header appears regularly throughout the file, and the data fields are very regular and appear to be 32 bits wide.

There is a small section containing "Microsoft Word" text, but this appears to be a corruption of the image file rather than vice versa.

FWIW, I see Internet references to GraphViz and GrandView.

BTW, you can easily see the data patterns in the file by going to a Windows DOS box and typing ...

Check temporary doc files (*.tmp) near your file.
Some of them could be still alive.

Which recovery software was used ?

I have recovered the file for you. It looks like it is a book written in Russian, starting from page 44 of the book. See the attachment. The data has been scrambled by some other files and all the OLE2 data streams are disordered.
But I think the full text content of the file are still intact.

I don't think you can use any WORD repair software to fix it because I did it manually. The size of the file has 122 pages in Word.

If you are still interested in this file, please message me. See the attached picture to confirm the content. The first pic is the last page , the second pic is the first page of the content.

FYI it is greek.

I disagree, there are several large gaps in the page numbers and multiple locations where the "GV110105" header & data and other data have overwritten portions of the file

Having said that, there is a large amount of data still present.

The original Word file is a fragmented file. The reason of ''several gaps'' is because there is more than one Word document in this damaged file, if you can figure it out...

The file header in this damaged file is NOT important at all. The first sector can be rebuilt according to the MSAT, SSAT, SAT, DIR.

Ok. I would not personally have called a document that starts at page 44, is missing pages 47-56, 84, etc. complete... but I guess that is only for the OP to say.
