Types of hard drive data loss

Logical failure

• The hard drive is in working order but some files or data cannot be accessed for logical reasons such as a lost partition or accidental reformatting.
• Hard drives are imaged. A copy of the disk is made and transferred to a new system. We also have tools that can "force" the drive to read around the bad area.

Mechanical failure

• The hard drive is not functioning. Most usually caused by head crashes and motor failures.
• Recoveries are performed in dust-free cleanroom environments where they are carefully dismounted, examined and processed.
