Difficult - how can I view this file on Windows?

I have a hard drive with a corrupted version of Windows that cannot be repaired (mainly all the time that would be spent trying to do so would be a waste because I just want to recover files and format the drive.) When I put this hard drive in my new computer, windows Disk Check moved my stuff (Program files, access to My Documents, etc.) to a folder called found.000 broken up in smaller folders with a name like dir0001.chk through dir0028.chk (this is separate from the Windows corruption). So when I get into Windows now, I do not see this found.000 folder (KNOPPIX shows me this only) but the drive indicates all the stuff is there. Also, I am assuming that this happened because of Disk Check but I could be wrong and it could be attributed to the corrupted Windows. So my question is that is there any software I can use in Windows to view this folder or a way to repair the error that disk check made so I can see this folder through windows at least?

uncheck 'Hide Hidden Files/Folders' and 'Hide system files' and it should show. if not, why can't you just copy these files off the HDD in Knoppix?!

An anal reason, when it burns the info, it changes the filename into caps and underslashes and cuts the filename. I can't delete things through it either. Unchecking the option worked, thanks.

if you re-mount the drive in knoppix as read/write, you'll be able to edit the files on it.

i am confused as to where this is going?! what do you want to do?!

I just want to work in Windows (delete, burn, copy, access), not in Knoppix. That's all. It would be easier for me personally.
