Hello,
I had issues with my USB drive, and on recommendation I ran chkdsk, which gave me a found000 folder with .chk files inside.
I then ran chkback, which converted some files into images and videos, but I also have .msox, .mso, and .mpp files and I’d like to know what they correspond to, please?
Thanks in advance.
Configuration: Windows / Chrome 84.0.4147.89

5. To copy this folder, type the command (for my case) xcopy D:\Sauvegardes\Recup (If the “Recup” folder does not exist you will be asked whether the destination is a file or a directory.
6. It’s a directory, so type R
7. Once the *.chk files are copied, download the Chk-Back utility (http://trcdatarecovery.com/software-apps/chk-back
8. Once unzipped, run setup.exe
9. Wait for the utility installation to finish.
10. Open chk-back.
11. Click on “Browse” to search for the “Recup” folder.
12. Once the files are found by the program, click on “Start”
13. The utility recovers the files into a folder “ChkBack 2 Results”
14. You will see the files scrolling with their extensions, except for the “Unknown” files, whose type is unknown).
15. The files with extensions *.mso and *.msox are Doc and Excel files. They will need to be converted.
16. Open CMD. Go to the folder where the recovered files are located. So, D :
17. Then, type CD ‘’Sauvegardes\Recup\ ChkBack 2 Results’’
18. Use the command “ren *.msox *.doc” to rename the *.msox files to *.doc
19. Do the same for the *.mso files to *.xls
20. Type “Enter”. Note, do this in this order: first the msox files, then the mso -
Hello,
Recovering this type of file is not an exact science.
Generally it doesn’t work very well.
