Recovering Text Files from External USB Drive

Hello,

I'm trying to recover some .txt files from an external USB drive.

I'm pretty sure the files were there because they are listed in the log file when I ran chkdsk d: /x /f The drive was not booting before I ran this check disk command.

The question I have is if I can recover these .txt files when the log shows them deleting the index entry during chkdsk /x /f.

"Deleting index entry xxx.txt in index $I30 of file 452"

When I run Recuva in short mode or deep scan it doesn't show any of these files recoverable I need to get.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
