I have a folder that contains JPEG files that I cannot open. Here is one example mystery file. Can anyone help me to open the file or suggest a way of recovering the data if it is corrupted?
[update] I found the files on an old external hard drive. The linux file
command failed to identify the file type (output was like this: mysteryfile.jpg: data
). Viewing the files in a text editor, I don't see any obvious file headers or anything in common within several files.
[update] I have tried and failed to open the files with Windows Photo Viewer, GIMP, Infraview, Paint and Picasa on Windows 7. Also, the default viewer on Ubuntu 11.04.
file mysteryfile.jpeg
and tell us the output.
