It depends what you mean saying that. When the disk was detectable always the same data was unavailable, therefore I assume that if only the disk could be detectable then I could recover 80% of the data. No, the entire surface is covered with pixie dust. |

No, the entire surface is covered with pixie dust. So what. The data could not be recovered not because of bad sectors (there were none before failure, not sure whether there are any now - not possible to test it), but because of the bad movements of the heads, and bad spinning of the plates. a. |

LOL, since you seem to be an expert at it, recover the data and then you have proof! Your drive is dead, the data is gone... move on, you're just wasting time now. |

LOL, since you seem to be an expert at it, recover the data and then you have proof! I will if you only tell me how to make the disk visible in the system. Your drive is dead, the data is gone... move on, you're just wasting time now. Most of the data (perhaps even all) is not gone - all plates (or most of the plates) are not damaged, so the data are still on them and just wait to be recovered. I will recover it if I buy another such disk model. But in one thing you're right - I'm wasting my time talking to you. :/ Bye. a. |

The platters are moving quite fast -- thousands of RPMs. When the heads crash they will generate generate debris above those rapidly moving platters. Where else would those particles come to rest? |

On those rapidly moving platters, right? Do you ever read your posts back? Anywhere *except* those rapidly moving platters, of course. They will be shot right into the casing walls where they may be swept by the rotating air into a particle filter. And btw, who cares what happens to the heads when you can worry about par- ticals that escape the particle filter when they shoot off those platters, right? |

But that still may not disable access to most of the data in a short period of time. According to Ontrack opening a disk in ordinary conditions (which I assume is even worse than those particles from head crash) usually shortens life of a disk from 100 to 1000 times - it doesn't kill all data on disk instantly. a. |
