Greetings to everyone.
Could someone help me how to fix a corrupted CDR file? I was working on a file of 159+ MB file when the power suddenly went off and I couldn't open the file when the power was back. I know the file could have been corrupted and I don't have a backup of the file also.
BTW, an interesting thing to note is that I tried to open the file is 7zip as if it were a zip file. To my surprise there was the file along with some xml files, but unfortunately I could not extract it as it showed up a message File is corrupt.
Many of you people would have come across a situation like this, could some one please help me out?
Thanks in advance,S. Sakthivel
Hello,
try the following:
- rename the file to ".zip "
- open the zip-file with Winzip or WinRar (these programs has a repair-function for zip)
- try to repair the file
- then extract the riffdata.cdr from content-folder of zip-file and open this file in CorelDRAW
These steps work for me.

Hi Sakthivel,
try reading these topics CDRfind - maybe that utility might be what you're looking for.
Before working on the file in any way make a copy of it (even though it's corrupted) using File Manager (Windows Explorer - not Internet Explorer)
Then work on the copy... rename it to whatever you want.
