1.	Solve : HDD 2.5 160GB wouldn't work - chkdisk ran - FOUND.XXX folders - Want to cry.?
Answer» Riiighhht..... The story goes LIKE this.. I plug my external wd scorpio 160gb after some time (had some bangs-plugged it out lots of times without ejecting it..) and it wouldnt work. I couldnt hear or FEEL the disks inside turning. I plug the usb out then in again, then another port....it started coughing and then i could see my files but was slow as censored. Not being able to do anything neither copy my files i ran chkdisk.......Full scan and repair bad CLUSTERS or whatever it says there. So when chkdisk finishes the disk was healthy running but there were no folders in there while it was almost full! so i guessed FOUND files!!! And i was right.... 4 of them.... My question is...Because i know my stuff is in there... and the disk now runs again, (I renamed one of the .CHK files inside of one of the FOUND folders to avi just to check and yeaapp...It was one of my californication episodes.) Can i get my data back? Is there a way , software or else to rename those chk files back to normal? Any help is appreciated as always . Thanks in advance! Sander Quote Can i get my data back? Is there a way , software or else to rename those chk files back to normal? Here is some software to do that. I have not tested it. http://www.ericphelps.com/uncheck/Hi thanks fro replying... Yes it seems thats my last hope togetherwith renaiming each and EVERY single file by myself. Thing is....I downloaded both UnCHK and FileCHK andthey have some extensions in their ini files. I however want to add some more. The way to do that is add them manually by providing the hex value of an extension's header in the inifile or by dropping a file format, Known good file, on the UnCHK.exe and it guesses the best hex value from its header. Ok....But when i tried some files like .ISO or .NRG and so on...they appear as 0000 values simply because they have no info in their header or no header im not SURE and the hex values are in their footers..... Is there any way i can get hex values of files headers anywhere>? And i mean not the usual file extensions like jpg mp3 and avi but not so usual ones. Like .iso or .mkv and so on.... Thanks!!
