I'm recovering files (specifically photos) from a drive image. The original hard drive was failing, and the user managed to start a windows system recovery in an attempt to fix things. I've managed to recover a significant number of files using Foremost, but many of the photos are missing pieces of data. A number of photos also have duplicates, with different missing data. I would like to fill in this missing data with data from other duplicate files. Does a script or program already exist for this purpose? (Yes, I Googled. I couldn't find one) What tools might I need to put a script together? (I'm not very familiar with low level data manipulation)

When I need to salvage files from a broken HDD, I use dd_rescue. dd_rescue can create a log file that states which parts of the file had errors… so if you have the original drive then you should be able to write a script to do what you want. It’s gonna need some work though…
I don’t understand why you used Foremost, which recovers deleted files. Did the “windows system recovery” erase all corrupted files?

The windows system recovery wiped the partition. So I'm recovering deleted files from a failing hard drive with a new OS written on top of everything. Kind of a data recovery nightmare. I've already created an image using dd_rescue and I'm working from there.
