Guest Retired Navy Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Dear Sirs, Yesterday, some thunderboomers and heavy duty lightning came thru early evening, and the juice kicked off and back on before I could get this rig shutdown, and it restarted her improperly, and the auto Chkdsk ran, but I didn't get to read what it offered me to do when it found errors, which it did, I got sidetracked with the aerial bombardment. On the root of my hard drive containing Windows XP, there is now a File Folder, named FOUND.000 It's 4.03 MB and holds 123 files, of Recovered File Fragments, named (FILE0000.CHK 24.0 KB, Yesterday, July 20, 2008, 8:41:18 PM to FILE0122.CHK 156 KB, Yesterday, July 20, 2008, 8:41:18 PM). At the time of power interuption, all I was using was Firefox, and I think I also had OE open, nothing appears missing in my OE folders, and I opened a few of the .CHK files with Firefox and they indeed are peices of web pages, icons, pics, ect... So I guess I can just delete the whole FOUND.000 folder, correct ? This happened once before ages ago, I forgot what I did, just curious, and mainly my reason for posting, to know, what were my options after the scan, to either delete right then, or, save to files which I guess is the default when you don't chose ?

Guest R. McCarty Posted July 21, 2008 Posted July 21, 2008 Re: FOUND Recovered File Fragments after power interuption Yes, delete the Found.000 folder. Abrupt loss of power prevents the PC from committing data changes to the drive. NTFS format is a transactional drive format and is somewhat resilient to data corruption. However, these days I would recommend that everyone use a UPS. You can get a unit that provides 6-10 Minutes of backup for less than ~$35. Connect the PC and any Broadband connectivity equipment to the UPS. "Retired Navy" <OldBosn@SeaNoMore_302Fuelie_F150.4x4> wrote in message news:%23aisgRy6IHA.3856@TK2MSFTNGP06.phx.gbl...
