Corrupted files after anyconvert

Hello everybody .
I own a iMac 21" mid-2011, in which Arch Linux is the only present operating system.
Some days ago, I used anyconvertfs, contained in anyfs-tools to convert a NTFS partition to a ext3 one; then I used arch wiki's instructions to convert the ext3 filesystem to an ext4 one.

anyconvertfs's output seemed successful; however, the files kept in the recently converted ext4 partition are now corrupted; images are distorted (http://it.tinypic.com/view.php?pic=n6zz … 395WK7k4UE), mp3s have strange sound along with the original ones, avi videos seem to have been truncated at a certain (random?) lenght, libreoffice can't open lots of odt files.

I ran fsck on the partition. The first time I did, it resulted in lots of errors and correction, like arch wiki's guide foresaw; then, it showed the partition as completely clean.

Here is the output of fdisk -l:

Disk /dev/sda: 931.5 GiB, 1000204886016 bytes, 1953525168 sectors

/dev/sda8   1830645760   1953521663  58.6G Microsoft basic data

lsblk:

sda      8:0    0 931.5G  0 disk 
|-sda1   8:1    0   300M  0 part 
|-sda2   8:2    0   100M  0 part /boot
|-sda3   8:3    0   128M  0 part 
|-sda4   8:4    0 826.7G  0 part /run/media/jlumiere/e42204e4-9608-4920-9fc3-53935eba7bcc
|-sda5   8:5    0  29.3G  0 part /
|-sda6   8:6    0     3G  0 part [SWAP]
|-sda7   8:7    0  13.5G  0 part /home
`-sda8   8:8    0  58.6G  0 part 

sda4 is the converted partition; sda5 and sda7 are respectively / and /home, and both have btrfs; sda6 is a swap partition; sda8 is an empty partition that will contain Windows OS in the future.

What can I do to fix those corrupted files?

Thank you!
Jerome
