Help.. how to restore dir0000.chk files

Saw this topic last posted in June. There was some agreement that bits
of text can be recovered from CHK files.

Any free or commercial software out there designed to recover more
complicated file types? I'm looking to recover a fairly large
collection of mp3s stuck somewhere in a 7GB CHK file.

Or shall I get my CDs out again for ripping?

Since they are fragments and intermingled with other bits of data and
garbage, you cannot extract them. The information would not be contiguous,
anyway.

Time to start ripping again.

And delete the *.chk files....they are useless.

*If* the original file was text, you can sometimes recover bits
of text from them. If the original file wasn't text, there's
never anything useful in CHK files.

No, I'm afraid you're out of luck. It's not a matter of software.
Scraps of MP3 files don't really have any useful information in
them

Hi,

If you really wish to restore data, then Active@ Undelete tool is your
choice. It has some mighty algorithm that is capable of restoring large
and complicated files. Give a try.

simply you open all chk files in linux *(ubuntu), You will know which kind of files are renamed as chk, as you have word files & jpeg files, & both are renamed with chk.you just put both files in different folders & rename their extension, as "sample.doc & sample.jpeg ,
pls remember in good words.
