In general, there are two types of hard drive failures::
Mechanical Failure:
This type of failure is related to physical damage of the hard drive. In the case of a mechanical failure, the hard drive is broken or damaged due to physical impact which results in a hard drive malfunction. The media may start making a noise; it may get hot or stop spinning. The most common mechanical hard drive failures include faulty motors or head crashes..
Logical failure: In case of a logical failure, the hard drive remains healthy (it spins, it doesn’t make any noise, and the operating system recognizes it), but there are issues with data storage. Some of the common logical failures include accidental formatting, deleting files without proper back up and missing partitions.
There are instances where both mechanical and logical hard drive failure occur simultaneously. Bad sectors and faulty firmware are the examples of mechanical and logical hard drive failure occurring simultaneously.
Regardless of the cause of data loss, in most cases it is possible to fully recover data from a failed hard drive.
In the case of a logical hard drive failure, the file is not completely gone, but the place it used to occupy is cleared. Consequently, when you work with other data, it takes up that free space. You should immediately stop using the media once a failure is detected. Otherwise, when new data occupies the free space, the lost data will be beyond recovery.
Mechanical hard drive failures are considerably more complicated. Because a hard drive is a very delicate and sensitive object, any kind of physical impact could essentially ruin the hard drive beyond repair. In cases of a mechanical failure, the engineers need to repair the broken or damaged disc before attempting an actual data recovery.
Major Symptoms and Causes of Data Loss.
It is very important to recognize the symptoms of a media failure. Here are some major symptoms of a hard drive failure and consequential data loss:
- • Clicking or grinding noise;
- • Files become inaccessible without voluntary change of security parameters
- The BIOS doesn't recognize the hard drive when system is booted.
- The BIOS displays error messages, such as "Primary hard disk failure" or "Secondary hard disk failure";
- An error message "boot disk error, insert boot disk press any key to continue";
- An error message "NTLDR is missing, Press any key to restart”;
- An error message "Operating system not found" or "missing operating system";
- One or more partitions, including the system partition, can't be found, and partition table is damaged;
- The BIOS detects the hard disk but it can't find the correct hard disk parameters when booted
- The BIOS detects the hard disk but denies data access when booted.
Here are the most common causes of a media failure and data loss:
- File/folder is accidentally deleted
- Liquid is spilled on a computer;
- The hard drive receives a physical impact
- The hard drive overheats
- The hard drive is exposed to fire
- Sudden power surges
- The hard drive is damaged due to a natural disaster such as fire, storm, or earthquake
- Formatting one or all partitions (for instance with a utility, such as disk or built-in Windows formatter)
There can be many other symptoms and causes of data loss. Data Retrieval can assist you in the aforementioned and other cases.
No matter the type of data loss you are experiencing, Data Retrieval has the experience and expertise to resolve your data loss problems.
