Seagate File Recovery for Windows may write to disk only from hex editor (with enabled write) or when it is explicitly directed to save files on this disk. Therefore, you should be very carefully using hex editor. In all other modes and actions, Seagate File Recovery for Windows performs a read-only and never modifies data on partitions and drives directly.
