Solve : found.000 to recover files?

Answer» <html><body><br/>Recently my Acer ES512 laptop with Windows 10 decided not to boot.  Trying to refresh it, I was informed my drive was "<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/locked-2159436" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about LOCKED">LOCKED</a>".   While I was rooting around on the Internet I found someone who suggested running chkdsk.  But when I did, it took ALL of the files from \Windows as well as ALL of my files from my personal |<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/user-25565" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about USER">USER</a> area and deleted my username.  But it created a hidden file called found.000.  In it, I can see some files are for Windows and some of them are for me in directories named dir####.<a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/chk-2026657" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about CHK">CHK</a> and dir_#####.chk.  But there are more than 7000 of these and another 4000 or more hidden.  There are also ~27,000 files named file####.chk.  I tried copying them to a USB but it ran out of room for the filenames after a quarter of my 16 GB USB drive had been written to.  I have no Windows, but using the Recovery USB I have access to a limp <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/form-240719" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FORM">FORM</a> of DOS.  I ran diskpart and it recognizes all my paritions and tells me they are healthy.  The <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/dirty-955137" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about DIRTY">DIRTY</a> bit has not been set either.  I found unchk.exe and filechk.exe which are supposed to restore the files, but they only work in Windows, not DOS.  Does anyone know a DOS program that will restore those files???<br/><br/>how old is the hard drive?<br/>not that it really matters, bad sectors (many) have been found and the bad area locked down and whatever was residing there has been renamed found000.chk and so on.<br/>all you data is now broken across many found000.chk files and recovering them would be bigger than Ben-Hur.<br/>but if you have no backups or system images, that is all you have got.  <br/>sadly I don't know of any software that will do it for you - but thinking about it, how could it?  it doesn't no how to 'stick' all those .CHK files together.<br/><br/>all that disk I/O would have buggered up the FAT, MFT and NTFS tables (however the drive was formatted) where the file indexes would live on a healthy drive.</body></html>
