How does disk recovery work if the hard drive is bad?

This is a fairly common question that is easy to address. Disk recovery software works by reading only the files and folders that have been lost or deleted. It will by no means try to write anything on the corrupted or damaged hard drive. Basically, it will only search the hard drive for what can be found, even if the hard drive is corrupted or damaged. Sometimes a bad hard drive is readable by the disk recovery software, and your missing files can be restored. If the damage is beyond what the software is capable of working with, then the disk recovery software will come back with either no results, or will have results that you were not looking for. However, it is highly possible that REMO Recover will be able to recover files that have been lost or deleted even if you have re-formatted the drive.

The only requirement is that you will need to store the recovered files in a safe destination drive, once they have been found. This means that, once REMO Recover finds all the files that you had lost or deleted, you will then need to provide either a second hard drive or a working location on the crashed hard drive to store the recovered files. This is the only writing process that the data recovery software will perform. You will also need a healthy and working system to be able to install the disk recovery software. It is using this system, that you can recover all the lost files from the affected drive.
