Damaged Hard Drive Data RecoveryA standard hard-drive is extremely sensitive to physical mishandling, much more so than a USB drive or other camera card storage device.  The data on a hard-drive is extremely compressed, and is contained on very sensitive spinning disks within the hard drive case.  If the hard drive is dropped or damaged physically it could cause very serious mechanical problems with the drive.  The most serious of problems would be a scratch or some sort of physical damage to the surface of the platters, which is known as a head crash.  Permanent data loss occurs immediately in this situation and is in most cases unrecoverable by any current technological means. 

However, mechanical damage to a drive can often be corrected as long as there is no physical damage to the platters.  Working with a hard drive in this degraded state is extremely risky, and professional assistance is necessary to determine the scope of the problem as well as the least invasive method for recovery.
