Read http://www.ehow.com/how_5183262_restore-chk-files.html for an example. If it's a DOC file, you're done. If you don't know, you can only guess.

Hello,
I had made a mistake and caused errors on my USB drive by removing it improperly. I ran a scan to try to fix the problem, but now I find a folder on the removable disk called FOUND.000, and inside are files called filexxxx.chk.
How do I recover these files? Anything will help.
