Does running data recovery software make the problem worse?
Thanks
Answer:
As long as you are testing , should be ok. the big issue would be if you were installing the sw on an existing drive you were trying to recover data from, this would possibly over-write data you require. if the drive is corrupt - there's not much you can do - hopefully you can retrieve some data - if not, it'll be a learning curve (I should know I lost 4 years worth of photos but managed to get them back - using a mixture of several apps of this type.)
it's pretty unlikely to damage your HDD by using the recovery software.
Don't worry and go ahead with using it, after all you dont have any better option for now:)
it shouldn't, it's always a worst case that it makes it totally unreadable ( rare) but since it's corrupt what's the loss?
