Not true but it increases the risk of that. Running it after opening

Yeah but if the data isn't very valuable its worth the fun of trying if I
can get a spare hdd for cheap or free. The hardest part is getting the
un
crashed heads off the other hdd without destroying them. I'm not too
worried
about losing a few dozen megs of data due to random dust particles.
