Hi
You got back before I got done typing.
Check this out, I have no experience with this myself.
Recover CHK Files
If the files are all the same extension like .doc or .txt try just changing the extension on one of them a see what happens. Do the files have names before the .chk extension?
That would help a lot!

Hi
The found folder is probably in the root directory of the drive scanned.
They are created when you run scan-disk on a corrupted drive.
They are system hidden files, so in order the see them you will have to turn off Hide Hidden or System Files in folder options.
This seems to be something that happens when scanning a flash drive quite often, and it seems that it isn't a good idea to do so when they have data on them.
If you find the "Found" folder come back and let us know if you found your data in it.
One last suggestion, the first rule of computing is "Never have any important files in only one location".
As Mike mentions, the .chk file might be recoverable or might just be a bunch of junk that was lost from even earlier file deletions.
What type of files did you have on the pen drive?
Have you tried opening any of them with notepad to see if you could tell anything about them?
There are some .chk files on my system in different directories, but they were not put there by chkdsk.
Hi friend,File deletion and corruption is very common. Sometimes due formatting/reformatting the hard drives, reinstalling windows, hardware corruption, virus attacks and many other reasons there for files corruption and deletion. But still you can recover deleted files by using file recovery tool Link Removed - Invalid URL. This tool is very effective and provides complete recovery of files and other documents.You can easily download the free trial version of file recovery software. |
