Hard Drive Corruption

Hard drives or Hard disks are the main storage devices used in every computer system to store digitally encoded information. Unlike RAM or system memory, hard drives store the data permanently. Now-a-days these hard drives are also used with various electronic devices, such as, mobile phones, PDAs, video games and audio video players.

Data on the hard disks is saved in form of binary digits (1’s and 0’s). Every hard disk contains circular platters to store the binary data. Hard drive head is used to read the binary information. A hard drive consists of various other components, such as, Spindle motor, Hard disk drive controller and Integrated Drive Electronics (IDE) Input/Output Card.

If any of these components get damaged due to any reason, then the hard drive stops working. Hard drive failure mainly occurs because of these reasons:

• Mechanical failure

• Electronic failure

• Logical failure

• Firmware corruption

The above factors provide both logical and physical damage to the hard drive. The most common misconception between the users is that once the hard drive has suffered a logical or physical damage, the data in hard drive is lost and can not be recovered. But the above statement is not true at all. The data in the hard drive remains intact and the user can recover the lost data with the help of data recovery experts and data recovery software.

Data Recovery Experts are those technicians that recover the data from a physically damaged hard drive. These technicians have sound knowledge of every kind of storage device and can recover data to the maximum.

How do i remove data from a broken hard drive before returning it?

Crrently i have a broken un working 750gb sata hard drive that is broken. I called up HP and they said that they will replace it because its covered under my warranty as long as i return the old one. Well i have some personal data that i would not like for some uberleet hacker to get. So my question is, how would i completely get rid of the data on that hard drive without causing physical damage?

well there are bad ass strong magnets inside the harddrive that protect it from magnets (without these a refrigerator magnet could destroy your harddrive). find a KICK ASS really strong magnet and rub it alllllll over the hard drive. if its stronger then the inside magnets it SHOULD just f**k up all the "data" that might still be on the drive. go to like a welding place and see if they've got a magnet lol
