A follow up: this problem was further discussed on irc. The files 
recovered from the faulty hard drive appear to be corrupt. This can be 
either because the tool used (Recuva) didn't work correctly or because 
the faulty hard drive was damaged beyond recovery. The original poster 
is currently trying other recovery tools.
