My files seems to be FUBARED!

I ran scan disk on my computer and it just turned a bunch of my files into little tiny chunks and I have no idea what to do with them. Is there any way I can turn these back into the files they were meant to be? I'm really worried because this adds up to 69GB!
 
Well scandisk turned the files into .chk (FOUND.001 folder). Yes I can view SOME files as video/audio but then some are also incomplete. Is there anyway I can fix this by like combining them? I have really no idea what to do.
 
DON'T DO ANYTHING WITH THAT HDD

don't write to it, boot up from it or anything else for now.
Chances are that just writing those extra chk files may have lost you some data.

It sounds like the file allocation table has been corrupted, but you files should still be on the drive in [mostly] their original state if you haven't written over them.

You will most prob need to use a yoot ie-
Spinrite6
recover2000
GETDATABACK
 
NOOOOOO

You install the drive into another system, then use the system's present hdd to install the recovery yoots onto. THEN recover

 
Yeah. Scandisk is NOT a data-recovery tool. It's sole purpose, is to get the filesystem back into a usable "normal" state. It doesn't give a darn what happens to those chunks of user data that "don't conform".
