Hi oferav12

you need match correct donnor

you need find it

Is dificult to get correct match. If data is important better contact with a local Datarecovery company.

[oferav12]

Thanks for the reply

what is donnor?
Why i think the heads are bad/broken ?
Because of the noise
Do you need the data from the drive or you are just trying to re-use the drive ?
i need the data!
When did it happened and how ?
my hard disk fell

so i need to change the heads

[sathyan]

Donor drive= Compatible working (Similar) drive to replace spares from.

If the drive fell, Do not power on the drive.
If you try to fix it yourself you will surely lose your data.
This is not DIY(Do It Yourself)
If data is important , take help from proper Data recovery company.

Maybe let me try to do it myself
What I want is to know what the head is compatible with which the head and I will try.
I have a small lab that closed with plastic face mask and gloves.
And I saw how to do it
But what I need to know what is compatible with what


I was also working hard drive I took the head and put it back after that and the hard disk still worked without a problem

If you are so confident then go for it. Your (?) drive, your choice. Good luck.

If your drive fell -> 75% data lose.
if you do not go to a profesiones -> 99,9% data lose.

Claen room needed

Good look

Did you check HEADMAP in patient AND donors first ?

[oferav12]

Donors I checked, that's okay
My question is if one matches
Or I have the same model

[hddguy]

There are so many variables to consider when making physical repairs. Compatibility, stability, surface errors, potential scratches to media, contamination.... How do you plan on confirming donor compatibility, and assuming you get 'lucky' with it, how do you plan on extracting the data from your disk?

[oferav12]

i have data compass

[BlackST]

i have data compass

That's where the problems begin.

You didn't answer to my question : DID YOU CHECK FIRST HEADMAP ON DONOR/S AND PATIENT ?
