chk files and the Found folders

Chkdsk saves each repaired file in the root folder as a File<nnnn>.chk file,
and each repaired folder in the root folder as a Found.<nnn> folder, where
<n> is a number.

Found.xxx folders are Hidden System folders.

Try this.

Start | Run | Type: %systemroot%\found.000 | Click OK

Do a Search for found.000
