Probably already said... just wanted to say again - unless you are very lucky and that FileJuicer(never heard of it) or something like it can fix those files - it's more likely that the corrupted files are not recoverable... you need to recover the original files off the source drive. That is the best bet.
It's not to say you might have luck with the corrupted files... Are the file sizes at least correct with what copied - one thing for sure, if they are not, then for sure the files are worthless. image file sizes vary, but I'd suspect you have an idea of how many megs about that they should be. Fingers crossed a header change is all it takes... but otherwise, best bet is to recover off the source before new activity on the source drive overwrites those files.
Might be other options if the above all fail... but those would likely be extremely costly.
