Data recovery and disk repair questions and discussions related to old-fashioned SATA, SAS, SCSI, IDE, MFM hard drives - any type of storage device that has moving parts

I have a failed Quantum Fireball lct08 LA17A011 hard drive which I need recovered. THE PCB board has been determined to be fine. There is a definite problem with the functioning of head 0 on the head assembly but the platter itself is not damaged.
Is there anyone out here with a suitable donor drive that can do a live platter swap or head swap to retrieve my data? Has anyone done this successfully? Does anyone know where I can get this procedure done? I don't mind sending it out.

Hi!
I might have a drive for you.
I will check availability.
Do you want to do it yourself or you will need a service done for you?

Hi,
Sorry guys, I have bad news. Quantum drives are very sensitive to head alignment, so I would say it is almost impossible to find an exactly matching donor MHA just by chance...
This drive has 4 heads, that's a big challenge for pros as well...
BTW how do u know H0 is bad?
