#MY PENDRIVE IS NOT SHOWING FILES HOW TO#

Windows determines how to deal with files by looking at the 'file name extension' - the 2, 3, or 4 characters after the 'dot' in the file name.ДЄpplication programs are 'associated' with a 'file type' (i.e., the extension). LemP Volunteer Moderator MS MVP (Windows Desktop Experience) 2006-2009 Microsoft Community Contributor (MCC) 2011-2012 Once you resolve this situation, either by recovering some files or writing them all off as irretrievably lost, I suggest that you reformat your USB flash drive using NTFS. I suspect, however, that your files won't be recovered easily, if at all.

Or if you know that all of the files on the flash drive were JPG files, you can try renaming the *.CHK files to *.JPG (if they can't be opened by the usual Windows photo viewer, try free IrfanView ( ). You can try one of the other utilities here: Given the level of corruption reported, I'm not surprised that UnChk couldn't recover anything. The Allocation Bitmap is part of how the file system keeps track of what physical clusters on the storage device are in use. In addition, the 'Allocation Bitmap' is reported to be corrupted. Subsequently, your flash drive experienced yet more data corruption because now CHKDSK is reporting corruption in the file fragments that it had previously found. The file fragments were saved in (at least) FOUND.007. What your screenshots appear to show is that you ran CHKDSK /F at least once prior to the time represented by your screenshot and file errors were found. CHK files and those files are placed in a FOUND.nnn folder.

When you run CHKDSK with the /F switch and file system corruption is detected, the file fragments are saved as. exFAT doesnвЂ™t have this feature, and that means thatДata can be corrupted more easily when unexpected shutdowns occur or when the removable drive formatted this way is not safely ejected. ThatвЂ™s useful when data corruption occurs because journals can be used to recover broken data. Journaling is a feature that allows the file system to keep records of changes made to files stored on

In our opinion, thereвЂ™s only one real вЂњnot so positiveвЂќ thing about exFAT, and thatвЂ™s the lack of support for journaling. , and this downside seems to have caught you. There is a downside to using exFAT, as explained at exFAT is mainly used for USB flash drives and SD cards, especially large capacity ones. While FAT32 will only permit files of approximately 4 GB or less, exFAT can handle Like FAT32, the exFAT file system is recognized by many different computer operating systems, including Apple's OS and Linux in addition to Windows. Second, exFAT is not 'retired technology' (nor is it the same as FAT32), although it is about 11 years old. It is, however, probably 'safer' to specify the volume you want checked, as in Will operate on G: (as your screenshot shows it did). You've been given some misleading and incorrect information.ДЇirst of all, if you use CHKDSK without specifying the volume, CHKDSK operates on the current volume. , some which are 42 gigs bytes large back to regular files? there must be a way to just correct the files system on the flash drive.Some of the filecheck folders are empty. How do I convert the large filecheck files There is not enough room on this old hard drive to transfer the check files to another format. I can see some files but not those in folders. perhaps a program that can read ex-fat> perhaps a virus has changed he file system of the files on the disk. Less than three months ago, I am trying to avoid transferring anything from my old unit to the new as another flash drive has been causing problems. this machine is quite old and although i do have a newer HP system That it would take to be effective actually I enjoy solving problems, but it just doesn't work.My last request for reading unreadable DVDs still has not helped as the problem still exists.

I do not mind doing the extra requirements

I tried to use a software program called Unchk that did nothing as it did not even open up an interface. I did scan the disk again and it created several CHK files. It didn't respond quite as well as you suggested.
