- -> Does that mean file0000.chk is on bad sectors? If true, would keeping the

- I don't think there is any use for the file that is recovered by chkdsk.
- When the computer checks for data consistency, these data appear at places
- where they shouldn't. So, the computer has to get rid of it. the
- file????.chk just link all the problem blocks together and name it
- file????.chk, you can do whatever you want with it. I would just delete
- it. But it's up to you, some people may find it useful in some way.
