It is possible to recover data from a hard drive with this type of damage. You won't get information that is on the damaged part... but all other areas are recoverable. You just have to have data recovery software that will ignore the read error that you will get when it gets to the end of the drive... Basically, since the heads are damaged, they would be replaced... You will see what you can get before the new ones get damaged, replace the heads again, and start reading again... As long as you get a set of heads that survive going over the damaged area.. you'll get everything on the inner part of the drive that isn't damaged. Which from your video is about 90%-95% of the data. The alignment issues you are talking about are with the platters being aligned with each other. When you replace the heads, you use paper to keep them from crashing on each other... you then remove the paper seperaters as you seat the heads on the HDD platters.

no the damaged area would just damage the new set of heads put on the system, Also where it reads to seek and read track 0 is messed up, so it will never be able to become ready UNLESS u turn the head off that reads that platter unless all the platters have that damage.

Actually, the read heads are somewhat easy to replace. They have sort of a springy head so the reader can be repelled by the individual magnetic pulls. That springiness also allows for flexibility between platter thicknesses. and that thing about the formatting, all read heads I've seen are the same, they all same amount of turns in the copper coil, and no chip. This means the only electronics in it is the ribbon wire, coil, and heads. The chip that controls the movement is either on a board inside the enclosure, or on the outer board. To make a long story short, just unplug the reader, unscrew the plastic guide thing that keeps the heads from going too far from the platter, remove the top neodymium magnet, and remove the read heads. Installation: Unless you plan to save the platters, you don't have to worry about scratching them when removing the heads, just don't let it touch the ones in the new drive. To install them, just do the same thing to remove the damaged heads, then slide the new ones into the plastic guide and screw it down and it should be good to go. Just don't forget to put the magnet back and plug the read head in to the board. Edit: Nvm, I guess there's more to it then that: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gGqzZYiXmbeXhKM Well, I was mostly right.

most drives can be forced to read specific tracks with specialized interfaces and software, usually provided thru the manufacturer. this can allow retrieval of partial data from non damaged areas, but only if the heads are undamaged. if heads are non functional, some services have success by actually removing the disc platters and mounting them into a new case with good heads, much like a manufacturing process. inspection at microscope levels to determine suitability is essential before choosing what to do, as even minute surface defects will ruin subsequent heads that attempt access to those areas. most recover is a multistep process, first to enable reliable mechanical operation, then read as much data into an external image file, and finally parse the recovered image file for data structure and useable data. with many systems, the fragmentation of files is extensive and often very time consuming makingit difficult to recover individual consecutive data (however, even partial data can be useful)

after a head crash, I would expect the head(s) to be "junk", so I would not expect them to work, even on undamaged parts of the disk; in the old days, with ferromagnetic coating, one could easily see the "furrow" that was ploughed by the head, and examining the head would also show the magnetic material clogging and/or having scratched up the head(s); good explanation, great video! BTW, I don't think you have to align "bits" on the surfaces, they would automagically align when the disks are reformatted (deep, including timing tracks); a bigger problem IMO would be (re)balancing the disks on the spindle, to avoid "wobble" when they turn at high speed? probably the falling over caused ALL of the "top" heads to "bounce" off the surface, and start pushing up material

Thanks for posting. Just for folks to be aware, if you intend to open a HDD, you need to do it in a clean environment. Airborne dust is sufficient to cause problems when it settles on the platter. Finger prints on the platter are a disaster. Cover your hair and clothing, wear neoprene (or touch sensitive) gloves. Generally parts (such as heads) are not interchangeable. If there is annular scoring as in this example, other tracks/ sectors may be readable. If he scoring is a spiral, that crosses all data tracks and renders the drive scrap metal. You need good light and the steady hands of a surgeon. :) :)

The heads were probably destroyed when it scratched the drive. The heads would servo would just search across the media for a reference point - but with no heads, that was impossible. With a replaced head set, you could have possibly gotten some data. If you magnified 80k x you'd still be unable to see the actual head. What you zoomed in on were probably like pre-amps that the heads use to amplify the electron state. NO CHANCE those heads could work once they've hit each other.

Way after anyone probably cares given SSDs but the answer is a big "Well..." The fact is there are companies that do computer forensics and have the equipment to do this. It is astronomically expensive and what you get out of it is going to usually be underwhelming. A few things complicate it aside from what is mentioned in the video. Big one is that as this head was swinging back and forth desperately trying to find the FAT or whatever, it was also sandpapering the surface of the disc. While it might look undamaged there are probably unreadable sections scratched all over each track. Some types of files like images may be at least partially recoverable.

You can't "force" the drive into the read position! Data recovery centres CAN recover data from such drives and it is likely they could have recovered the data off this drive, prior to dismantling.(obviously there will be some data that cannot be recovered where the heads have crashed into the platter). It does depend on the ability to use the original head (or if they can install new r/w heads). Recovery centres have specialised software to step the heads and control which track is read. The data DOES NOT have to align vertically between platters. There is some form of alignment based purely on the relationship between the heads and how they are mounted on the drive, but this has nothing to do with VERTICAL data alignment. Today's high capacity drives (usually) have logical allocations. This means the drive to the "end user" may be described for example as 2048 tracks and two r/w heads, while in practice, the physical device may have hardware that uses two platters and four heads. The computer requests the drive to write on track 1056, but the hard drive "logically" locates the appropriate track that "represents" track number 1056. This track could be on the second platter, read and written by head three. The computer does not need to know this logical allocation, this is handled by the embedded software on the hard drive.

How do you know by the sound that the head is not stuck on the plate? Or a spindle won't spin? How do you decide to replace the panel..... The noise sounds the same to me :-/

How about replacing the head instead of trying to swap the platters?

What do you do if the hard drive does nothing at all? No sound whatsoever? It just doesn't work. Thank you for great information!
