How do I repair a corrupted CDR file?

Hello Friends ! Last night I successfully saved one corel X4 file. But when i tried to reopen it in the morning, the file failed to open and the error message read Error reading ~File Location~ .cdr file. The size of the file is 1.85 gb and it contains a lot of images with text content. I tried 7-8 recovery tools available on internet but they failed to repair/recover the file and displayed the message Unable to read the file. I also tried the winzip method of extracting riffdata.cdr file, but it didn't worked too. And to my surprise, both original and backup files are not opening and giving the same error message. I request you all to help me as i have spent days to complete this file and i have no other backup of this file.

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.
Or try use CorelDRAW Repair Kit. CorelDRAW file repair software for recovery of the contents of damaged CDR files. Program helps to repair corrupted Corel Draw project files.

What kind open a CDR file?

Yes, if the file opens and it's blank, then it might be corrupted. My advice is to avoid copying other files to the partition where the original file was saved. Download CorelDraw Restore Toolbox - http://www.coreldraw.restoretools.com/ to another partition and install it somewhere else than C:\ drive. Use the built-in Wizard, then select ALL and the partition where the file was stored. After the results list appears, type CDR in the filtering box to locate the file. It should come up with its original name and a green marker in front of it. This indicates the file is in good condition. Right click it and save it to a different partition.

May I view corrupt cdr file in win7 ?

make a back up of your corrupt file first if you can
there are many programs out there that can examine the file and is many cases repair it
the work corrupt is often misleading,
the most common faults causing corruption are
1 the file size is incorrectly recorded
2, the actual location of file is incorred
3, the most common, the file dates are incorrect
4, it has been writen on a bad sector of the hard drive or that sector has since been damaged
it is often possible to run scandisk and fix those files , you may have to select "scan surface and attempt to repair files" but that takes a very long time and with today's large drives may take weeks,
backups are a must
there are programs that analyze the files one at a time or at your choosing that can in many instances, repair these files in a much shorter period of time

How to cdr repair corrupted image?

If you are using windows 7 or later, you can try opening the folder in windows explorer, right click on the CDR, go to properties and then the previous versions tab. It may have kept an older version.
I can't remember if XP also kept previous versions and it also depends on your configuration, so it is not definite that you will have them.
Another, small, possibility is to look in the same folder and see if you have a file which begins backup_of_... and your filename. But this keeps only one previous copy so if you have saved the file more than once since Wednesday your backup will be too new.

I am using Corel X3 version and would like to open a file that was created with the X4 version. What can I do?

Step 1 Launch CorelDRAW Graphics Suite X4. If you don't own the software, download and install a free 30-day trial from Corel.
  • Step 2 Go to "File" "Open" and open the X4 file you want to convert into a backward-compatible X3 file.
  • Step 3 Go to "File" "Save As" and choose "CorelDRAW X3-compatible" from the "Save as Type" drop-down menu. Click "Save."
