CHKDSK ran at startup and found some error with my Firefox profile folder and trunctated the files.

I want to recover whatever it did becuz they have been moved from their original locations and i have lost my bookmarks and settings.

So where does CHKDSK store the repaired files?

[EDIT]
This is what the log reads:

One of your disks needs to be checked for consistency. You
may cancel the disk check, but it is strongly recommended
that you continue.

my best guess is that it is located in \windows\ or \Windows\repair

<\ indicate any primary hard drive such as C:>

Do a file search for *.chk files probably on the C:\ drive.

Finding Recovered CHK files

Hiya mate...If the CHK are recovered then they are usually saved in C:/FOUND.000 and a new folder is created each time files are recovered....hope this helps!!!
