   Thank you for that. I got the following result:

   I looked at these files one by one. They are between a few hundreds   
   bytes and a few kilobytes long. However, when I open them with a hex   
   editor they are completely empty, they only contain zeroes.   
      
   No idea why they are empty. I will try to install Mint in a virtual   
   machine and see if I can copy these files.   
      
   Thanks for the help.
