Dug up a USB flash drive that has a FAT16 partition but Windows Explorer sees files that are corrupted (file name, timestamps, size discrepancy, etc). Chkdsk says that it can fix it but there is no space in the drive to actually do so. I cannot delete any of the files since I do not know which one is important or not.
Is there any software solution to 'pipe' the repaired files into a different drive? (Guessing sort of linux file repair tool?)
One horrible idea/theory I can try to do is to boot into linux, fully image the USB drive, image that file back into a larger drive, expand the partition using gparted, then go back to Windows to do drive repairs. However, I can probably deduce that it would really screw 'chkdsk' up if I were to do that.
