My external hard drive was fine but when I open it shows empty field though there is data on it.
As I am unable to see my data I ran disk error via H drive, properties/tools/disk check.

To confirm what is on the drive I use a software which check the folder size and it shows files as per screen shot.
I wonder if there is any way I can open, read or retrieve chk files?

Any help will be appreciated.

Thank you.

If I understand your question correctly, you want to read the results of chkdsk, which is shown on the screen only momentarily, at the completion of the scan.

Vista works the same as Seven.

No not like that, I could not see anything if I click on the External drive from My computer it shows empty. But some how I use a software which check the folder/file size that showed me there are 000 and 0001 folder and chk files.

As there is very important data I want to read, retrieve or back up but I do not know how to use Windows Vista home premium. Is there any way?

Thank you for your answer.

PS* I want to convert chk file to original ones such as, txt, doc, pdf, wav, mp3 etc if possible otherwise at least txt or doc.
