Partial recovery IF the other side is in good condition.

Unfortunately dust from visible side will be on other side too in near future.
Before head replacement you have to carefully clean both sides of platter.

Thanks for replies guys.
I was joking, I have recovered 100% of data

It was WD 160GB one sided drive (Side 0)

If it was one sided then how did the damage happen? Did it actually have the top head and was just disabled in ROM?
