    Hmmm try running restore with CONTINUE_AFTER_ERROR clause... But your situation does not look good...

    You should also verify that at the moment the disks are not corrupted, the reason to suspect so is because also the backup files I believe taken before the crash are bad.

    As mentioned above that the best way forward is to restore last known good backup.

    If your business doesn't allow to loose data post-backup till date then you can choose to approach data recovery companies in your location.
