Files during conversion recovered in C:\found.000

D

Deesto

During an eventful and frightening process of converting my C: drive from
FAT32 to NTFS (and losing my partition tables and MBR in the process), once
the conversion was finally done correctly and my machine was bootable
again, the chkdsk/convert process created a directory C:\found.000 , in
which it created a series of folders dir0001.chk--dir0014.chk . Most of
these folders contains recognisable files that must have been corrupted in
some way and recovered during the conversion. However, the final folder
(dir0014.chk) contains a series of over 5,000 files, starting with _CACHE_
001_ -- _CACHE_003_ , _CACHE_MAP_ , and the rest are files of varied name
and size such as 0A1A0078d01 . I assume these are recovered files, but how
would one view/recover their contents?
Thanks,
John

These are recovered fragments which usually can not be recovered because the
fragments can not be pieced together to form a file.
