After a power failure two very important encrypted disk images (about 20G each) failed to mount. I got this message instead: The following disk images have failed to mount: Reason "corrupt image". After that I tried to do a fsck-check in the Terminal (I don't know very much about the command line but I were able to check this out). Result:

BAD SUPER BLOCK: MAGIC NUMBER WRONG ioctl (GCINFO): Inappropriate ioctl for device fsck: /Users/ral/Desktop/IT Kopie.sparseimage: can't read disk label.

Therefore I'm desperate because I don't have a backup of the data (I was actually on the way to do backups when the power failure occurred!). What can I do? Is there no way to save my data? Perhaps with a disk repair app or something like that? BTW shouldn't the journaled feature of the file system on the DMG prevent this from happening? I really need your help! Thanks!!!
