You know when you delete something wothout sending it to the recycle bin. Guess where it goes.
c:\Lost And Found
Yes thats right you cant see it. It is not in the FAT.

I saw it with a hex editor

Anyone else seen it?
 
Adv. User;
Do you mean C:\FOUND.000 or C:\FOUND.001??
If not, excuse my ramblings.
Home of *.chk files, recovered file fragments from chkdisk.

From: Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Professional Resource Kit, by Microsoft Corporation
[If the folder is identified, the lost cluster chains are saved there as files. If the
folder cannot be identified or if the folder does not exist, it saves each chain of lost
clusters in a folder called Found.xxx, where xxx is a sequential number starting with 000.
If no folder Found.000 exists, one is created at the root. If one or more sequential
folders called Found.xxx (starting at 000) exists, one using the next number in the
sequence is created.]

[After the storage folder has been identified or created, one or more files with a name in
the format Filennnn.chk (the first saved file is named File0000.chk, the second is named
File0001.chk, and so on in sequence) are saved. When Chkdsk finishes, you can examine the
contents of these files with a text editor to see whether they contain any needed data (if
the converted chains came from corrupted binary files, they are of no value). You can
delete the CHK files after you have saved any useful data.]
 
What's c:\Lost And Found's real name???
i.e.
C:\DOCUME~1\WESLEY~1.VOG\LOCALS~1\History\History.IE5\index.dat
