Question:

Data Recovery Dos and Don'ts - Can I run scandisk or chkdsk to fix the problem if the system freezes ?

Answer:

We advise not to. In most cases, running scandisk and chkdsk will stress the hard disk further if the condition of failure is associated with hardware. Even if the disk is physically sound, running such utilities may result in large number of orphan file fragments without its original names and directory locations.
