Repair or Restore an **Incomplete** SQL 2005 .BAK file

1 New Member
I have a SQL 2005 .bak file that looks to be corrupt. It won't restore using standard gui restore method. The file size looks correct (9.8 GB) but it wont restore. The prior day works but unfortunately this is the one day my server harddrive has completely died. Any way to repair or restore this .BAK and see the data? Inside this database is a single table that may allow me to get my missing day added to my yesterday working database.
