[solved] chk files

Sometimes after plugging a USB key into a microsoft product, you'll get weird CHK extension files, possibly in cryptic "FOUND" directories, that Microsoft is attempting to "recover" off the drive. To see what they've recovered often requires a hex dump reader. The simplest one I've found is the gnome ghex reader, easily installable in Arch with (obviously)
# pacman -S ghex
