Steven, I would suggest probably the original data recovery needs to be reattempted, if corrupt files were recovered to the external drive then it sounds like what was found in the data recovery was not readable files. Alternately it may just be that the external drive is failing We would be happy to take a look at both drives and try to make sure files are recovered to a new drive with no issues.
