I have noticed that I have some folders on my C dirve that includes some
folders such as FOUND.00, FOUND.001, FOUND.002 and so on. I noticed one of
the folder is over 2 GB. What are these folders? Are they system files? Can I
delet them?

many thanks.

These are created by the disk-checking utility (chkdsk) and can normally be
deleted, as the info is likely either junk or cannot be restored to useable
form anyways. See
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/browse_thread/thread/6693f1c2c9a5f82a/9fbf7acf44da2ba1?lnk=st&q=chkdsk+found.001&rnum=1&hl=en#9fbf7acf44da2ba1
for more info.

Hi

They are folders created by chkdsk and can be deleted. You won't be able to
get any meaningful data out of them.

You can delete these folders as they are simply put there when chkdsk checks
your hard drive.
