It can be extremely frustrating when one loses data and that too if it is vital. The scenario is worse if there is a hard disk failure as the entire system goes haywire. When hard disk failure occurs, the stored data cannot be accessed and you have to go in for hard disk recovery. Hard disk failure may happen during the course of general operations due to some internal or external factors. The different types of the hard disk failure include:
1.Firmware corruption
2.Electronic failure
3.Mechanical failure
4.Logical corruption
Under firmware failure, the communication link is destroyed and the drive is not recognized in BIOS.
Power failure and electrical problems are the reasons behind Electronic failure. The electric control board is effected due to these reasons, making the drive undetectable in BIOS.
Mechanical failure arises due to some problematic operation of the mechanical components of the drive. The Read/Write head crash being the common cause
Under logical failures, the root cause may range from simple file deletions to harsh file system corruption. This may be due to accidental deletion, hard drive formatting, virus infection, and sabotage.
Hard disk has very sensitive parts and you should never try to repair the hard disk or recover data from the damaged disk on your own. Hard disk data recovery by an inexperienced service provider may lead to further damage to the disk. Whenever you face any situation of hard disk failure, always seek the service of expert and experienced HDD recovery professionals. Disk recovery can be done by replacing parts such as read or write heads, chips and sometime the platters after copying the original. But, if the failure is due to physical damage then it must be dealt in a Cleanroom environment. The entire process of extracting the information and cleaning the drive is done under expert and experienced professionals.
