32. Lost (and found) Fragments

What does ScanDisk name the files it creates from lost file fragments?

Look for files named File0000, File0001, and so on, in your root directory. These are the files that have been created by ScanDisk from lost file fragments. To track these files down, select Start, Find, Files or Folders. Type File*.*

in the Named text box. Select your root directory (in the drop-down list under Look in)and then click Find Now. (Note: You may wish to view the contents of these files--use a text editor such as Notepad--before deleting them.)
