WDR Demo on 64-bit Windows 7 Ultimate
May 15th, 2023, 16:21
Greetings,
I saw on HDD Oracle an article about WDR Demo. I noticed that it requires a 32-bit Windows OS, which Windows XP would work for sure, in addition to having admin access.
However, this is the PC I'm using for HDD repair:
I don't have any other PCs that has a spare SATA port or slot(s) for a SATA adapter, and runs on a 32-bit Windows OS. When I checked out the program's properties, I noticed a section on Compatibility mode. Would compatibility mode still allow the program to run and if so, which compatible OS should I run the program in?
Windows XP (Service Pack 3)?
Windows XP (Service Pack 2)?
Or which mode should I run the program in instead? Also, any else not mentioned in the article linked at the top of the post and this article?

WDR doesn't work on Win x64 bit systems. You need install x86 system.

So even with compatibility mode such as Windows XP SP3, WDR won’t work, am I understanding correctly? I can’t trick WDR into working on Windows 7 Ultimate x64? I’m asking mainly about compatibility mode with WDR.

Yes, forget about that compatibility mode, especially on x64 for programs that want x32. I can't remember if that mode once for me.
Another approach would be a bootable x32-windows on a stick or external disk. I have done that in the past (and prefilled with my diagtools), but I don't know if the methods today are better.
