Hi
I have a situation where I have alot of CHK files from a flash disk that was "repaired" by windows checkdisk.
What's the proper tool to get the data out from that files?
Thanks

Thanks laptokowiec
I had already tried those programs, and they don't do anything...
Still searching.

It may help to search the drive for files with a "last accessed" date/time stamp just before the crash, and just after. That could tell you what the client was doing before the crash, and what he was redoing afterwards, in which case you may have a better idea of the file types.

If those progs don't work, you can 'watch' your files in some hexed (HxD is free) and see what type they are.

Hi laptokowiec
I used Winhex, and could find the doc's I think I needed. Still have to check with the client now.
Thanks
