4. What should I do if my computer disk has failed ?

The number one rule to save the data is to shut down the computer immediately and remove the power from the computer. The most important thing that has to been done after is to consult with a professional. The reason for doing so is that any additional movement between the platter and the head can cause severe physical damage that will likely lead data to be unrecoverable.

5. What are the possible causes for data lost on a hard drive?

There are two typical reasons for losing data on a hard drive.

Physical damage: this is resulted from mishandling of the drive or circuit failure of the PCB board that is attached to the hard drive. Physical damage always causes at least some data loss, and in many cases due to physical damage the logical structures of the file system also may get damaged, all such damages constitute physical crashes of hard drive.

Logical Crash: Logical damage is primarily caused by human error which includes accidental deletion of files, accidentally formatting drive and power outages may cause file system structures getting damaged, virus is also another cause.

6. Are there cases that the data can not be recovered?

Yes. This happens when the platters have been physically scratched and scraped by the head due to many attempts of powering on the hard drive. Such procedures cause critical damage to the logical structure of the data itself or the internal physical components of the drive.

7. What happens if you recovered a bunch of data that I don’t want but the data I need could not be salvaged?
