Chkdsk /f a Few Years Ago and Then Now...

Hello:

Not very long ago when you used the chkdsk /f command to check for Cross-Linked Files, Lost Allocation Units, Bad Sectors etc. and when there were cross linked files, lost allocation units etc. chkdsk would create a file and place the file on your hard drive.

The file I believe if I remember correctly had the extension .000 and .001 and so on.

When chkdsk /f is run on the system with Microsoft Windows 7, where are the recovered files stored and what are the filenames? Extensions?

A few years ago you would view these files and sometimes you were able to recover ascii text which was better than nothing.

This used to be second nature for me, but I have been out of the technical world for a while so any help is appreciated.

Thanks,

E
