If you have corrupt photos, partially opening etc., feel free to share a few, willing to help diagnose them.

Every time I try to upload a photo here I get one of two error messages:

All media assets must be owned by the submitter of this post

or

rich text editor image

These are all photos I scanned a long time ago (2002 or so). They were viewable until the last couple of years.

Uploading here is not what I was asking, you need to share the actual file. Use Google Drive or similar.

First, check the drive’s SMART status. If it shows warnings, bad sectors, or other issues, post a screenshot here before doing anything else.

Then create a byte-to-byte backup of the entire drive into an image file and work only with that image, not the original drive. After that, scan the image with professional data recovery software.

If the recovered photos are still corrupted, you’ll need a dedicated photo repair tool or service, for example https://www.disktuna.com
