Hello,

it sounds like a check disk has been run on your memory stick.

your drive will have had a "dirty bit" flag set on in marking it as dirty. Probably down to incorrect removal or failing to read/write.

the CHK files are files recovered by a check disk. Unfortunately, it doesn't recover the correct file extension.

There are file converters out there you can use to covert these CHK files back to what they were. However, you'd need to know what file type you're covering.

eg. If they're all word documents then all you'd need is a program to convert CHK to .doc or .docx.
