Greetings all. I had a slight hdd crash last month and everytime I do a
v-scan, it takes forever to scan through these "recovered" fragments
located in D:\FOUND.0000/DIR00*.CHK folder but I cannot find them. Of
course I first set file properties to view hidden files, but they're still
not there! I had a good backup of my lost files and of course the .chk
files contain no recoverable data anyway (they were chunks of FrontPage
webs I had good dupes of). And my system is running fine. I've scrubbed
all the groups, MS and some faq's and nobody can supply an answer. Lots of
links to bogus newsgroups all containing the exact same threads that never
get answered. Anybody know of a way to get rid of them? I'm a neat freak
and they're just taking up space. :(
TIA - Kel
