No, it shouldn't. The only kind of way you *might* experience loss of important files, is if those files are being stored in sectors that have gone bad, and need repaired, but generally speaking, once a couple of sectors goes bad, that information being stored in those sectors isn't recoverable unless you do a disk repair like chkdsk /f, and those sectors happen to be repaired. It happened to me yeeaaaarrrssss ago with the 3.5" disks. Some disks started going bad, so I would run Scandisk and most disks had empty sectors that were used in order to be moved to use as repairing bad sectors on the disk.
I think before you mentioned having an external hard drive? I would copy all the stuff you want to keep to an external hard drive. I did that for my games drive. However.... I also have CD's and DVD blank discs. So there are times when I'll burn information to a DVD disk, so far those discs are still working, some of them as old as 2011.
I keep the DVD discs in the sleeve protectors and in a shoe box so nothing gets damaged.
