Data Recovery
Hi,
Recover My Files is not designed to "fix" a drive and make it work again.
Recover My Files is designed as a "data recovery tool" which will locate files on the problem drive and allow you to save the files to another drive.
-----
The drive fix approach
There are some programs available which will allow you to "fix" a drive in an attempt get it working again. The limitation of this approach is:
a). There are about 1000 different ways to lose data from a hard drive and it is hard to create a fix-all tool for all problems;
b). If the "fix" software does not get the solution 100% accurate, then you run the very real risk that when it writes its changes to the drive it actually makes things much worse and the probability of getting any data back could be greatly reduced.
-----
The Recover My Files approach
Recover My Files is written specifically so that it does not change the content of the drive being searched. You must save the data found to another drive.
With this approach, even if you do not decide to use Recover My Files, you can pursue other data recovery options, knowing that the status quo of the drive has been maintained.
