Formatted Recovery

Look at results of your scan, choose some random files and view them with a hex viewer. Probably the files contain the wrong data meaning either metadata like file records are damaged or files have been written to with new data. Depending how much data was written with the factory restore you may get better results with the raw files found in the scan.

I looked at this one remotely for him already. Looks like it wasn't just a system restore, they also copied a large chunk of data including movies, etc. to the drive after the restore. So I think it was just all overwritten.
