Welcome!

Great Read and its all valuable information but I want more. T13 page is directed mostly to organisations and me as private want-to-be hdd expert crave more knowledge. Plenty time it was mentioned to practice practice and practice but is there anyone volunteering to outline absolute-must for theory before my "practice" wont be resembling a monkey playing with a loaded gun? I would greatly appreciate a push in good direction since it is vast sea of information needed before I can feel a bit confident in analysing hdd faults..

First read ALL the links here :

http://www.hddoracle.com/viewtopic.php?f=56&t=176

By ALL i mean ALL.

Then check in particular the research section.

Then wait some more weeks and i will post a BIG thread with several damaged drives that i'm fixing and recovering data from as examples of what you will find on the field ... But i'm still writing that article and it will take some more weeks to finish.

For now read the ones that are already published.

Take attentions to this ones :

Translator, Defect Lists and Bad Sectors :

Understanding translator "shifts" :

Testing hard disks with some confidence :

Executing a "Cosmetic Fix" on drives with Bad Sectors :

Assigning slow sectors to the P-List :

Recovering data from a formatted drive acquired on EBay :

This will get you started.

Just read, and love the idea of making knowledge available instead of hording it.
Looking forward to other mails from you!
Good work!
