Spontaneous .jpg resizing

ISSUE
Out of all the pictures on my dad's computer that he uses for work (some 7000), about a dozen of them have suddenly, spontaneously resized themselves to useless resolutions (as in 50x50).
This is a problem because those .jpgs work hand in hand with an architectural software to draw house plans and things of this nature. They were high resolution pictures.
He believed it to be the doing of some Kodak camera software that some relative had put on there (long story).
Whatever did it also managed to reach into his backup external drive and ruin those as well.
What could possibly cause these pictures to resize themselves? Could Kodak's Easyshare software have done it? Is there any hope of recovering these?

So he either had those pictures resized and backed them up unkowningly, or they were that size to start with and he never payed attention till now.
Any software that supports batch resizing can do something of this sort, but it is usually a bit of a pain to get it all done.. so it's certainly possible it did it, just not sure how someone would get to thatpoint purely by mistake.
