What is the difference between logical and physical recovery?

Logical recovery addresses software-level issues like deleted files, corrupted partitions, or formatted drives - the drive hardware still works. Physical recovery is needed when mechanical components fail, such as read/write heads, motors, or when there's physical damage to the platters.

What is a clean room and why is it important?

A clean room is a controlled environment with filtered air that removes dust particles. Hard drive platters are extremely sensitive - a single dust particle can cause damage. All physical repairs must be done in a clean room to prevent contamination.

Can you recover data from a clicking hard drive?

Yes, clicking usually indicates a head or mechanical failure. Stop using the drive immediately to prevent further damage. This requires physical recovery in our clean room, where we can replace failed heads or transfer platters to recover your data.

Can you recover data from encrypted drives?

We can recover data from encrypted drives if you provide the encryption password or key. Without the key, the recovered data will remain encrypted and inaccessible. We cannot break encryption.
