CHKDSK showed lost chains, I used chkdsk/f to recover -> them into files. But when I type file0000.chk, sometimes I can see some -> binary codes, sometmes I got "error reading drive C" message. No bad sector -> is show on chkdsk. -> Does that mean file0000.chk is on bad sectors? If true, would keeping the -> junk file there prevent getting into the bad sectors? I don't think there is any use for the file that is recovered by chkdsk. When the computer checks for data consistency, these data appear at places where they shouldn't. So, the computer has to get rid of it. the file????.chk just link all the problem blocks together and name it file????.chk, you can do whatever you want with it. I would just delete it. But it's up to you, some people may find it useful in some way. -- Thanks. 8) _ _ | user's name: Edward Wong |_ |\ \ / /\ |_) |\ | ARPA: edwong@acs.bu.edu |_ |/ \^/ /==\ | \ |/ | UUCP: acs.bu.edu!edwong
