BleepingComputer.com: Img file

I am trying to recover a hard drive. So I downloaded several free recovery programs and managed to make this file called "drive E.img" I can't figure out what to do with this file. Drive E had mostly images on it, and this is what I want to recover. I want to open this file and get my images. How can I do that?
I have "majicIso" and "majicDisk". Neither one of them is majical!!

It looks like the programs did not recover it fully so it made the file un-open-able.

Solution: use a better file recovery program. Pandora recovery has worked good for me. What programs were you using?

Pandora says my drive "is not ready"

To give you a better idea what is going on:

In Disk managment:

Layout: Partition
Type: Basic
File System: Blank
Status: Healthy(active)

In explorer if I try to open the drive it says

"The disk is not formatted. Would you like to format it now?"

In Properties-for drive D

Type: Local Disk
File System; RAW

Used space: 0 bytes
Free space: 0 bytes

Capacity shows the whole drive as used-(the picture)


Thanks for any help you can give.

Do you know what your file system is? In Windows XP or lower, to find out what your file system is, click Start and go to all programs>accessories>system tools>disk defragmenter. You will see the file system. It will say either FAT32 or NTFS.

Pandora recovery only supports NTFS.

You can get a better view of what you have in Disk Management, Start> right click on My Computer> Manage> Disk Management.

Is this a SATA or a ATA/PATA hdd?

How is it connected?
