Hi. I have a 16GB USB-stick that I have photos and videos on. When I opened it up this morning, it only showed one file, which was just named "4". However, Windows still shows that I have 5,22GB left of that 16GB. I ran a CHKDSK in CMD but that gave me no errors, telling me there's about 800 files on it. I then plugged the USB in a TV, and it showed me a folder called "FOUND.000" but couldn't show me any files. When I try to find that folder on the USB-stick itself using my PC, it doesn't show up. I have every box in the view-tab clicked to make sure all hidden folders and files are viewable. I then had an idea, and added all of the files on there to a .zip file. That .zip file now has 2 folders, one is named "FOUND.000" (like the TV showed) and one is named "System Volume Information". When I open that first folder, it does show about 800 .CHK files. But when I try to extract that folder to my desktop, nothing shows up. I tried again, and Windows asked me whether I wanted to replace already existing files. But I can't see them anywhere! I tried to open my desktop in the Windows Explorer, and the folder doesn't show up there either.
I tried searching for a tutorial online, and came across a program called "deCHK". In every single video I found that worked perfectly, but when I try running it to check my USB-stick, it says there are no .CHK files registered in that drive.
I really want to save those photos and videos, they are worth a lot to me.
