Where does CHKDSK store "repaired" files??

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:

Checking file system on C:
The type of the file system is FAT32.


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

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

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

Nothing there of the sort. Any other ideas?

Do a file search for *.chk files probably on the C:\ drive.
You can check this site for a little assistance;

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!!!
