In situations where the hard disk is giving out unusual noise, it may be almost late or already late and your information may be in risk of vanishing.
The noise may be from the heads of the disk touching the magnetic plates. This could cause scratches on the magnetic plates. This could lead to data loss as the plates are very sensitive to touch and dust particles.
The noise can also be from a mechanical problem with the motor. The beam could have a fault resulting to the motor rotating irregularly and producing abnormal sounds. This would contribute to data been wrongly coped to disk, these errors lead to jamming of the central processing unit which leads to a crush.
The disk may have a logical failure; the disk won’t be visible on the screen of the user. This results from software application writing on the wrong part of the disk causing disk errors.
In case of a physical failure, the disk is not visible on the users screen or is it detected by the BIOS during start up. This may have been from mishandling of the disk, or a problem with the circuit board of the disk.
Crashed disks do not boot, for instance if the disk containing the operating system was affected by the crash, a blue screen of death would be the first thing you would meet after starting your system.
Files are either lost after a crash or can’t be accessed, the disk is usually in a state of collision and this is where a data recovery specialist is needed to retrieve your information.
