Hi to all , I was looking for the experts on HDD repairs and I have found them. Pls help me.

1. I have a seagate 100gb disk. The disk fell down and its read and write head were damaged.
2. I need to retrieve the data. The platters are all ok. So what are the options with me ?
3. Can a replace the read write heads from other disk ?

But for one Hard Drive please dont do your self and ask the nearest data recovery company and they are having atleast..
1)Good clean room or having Laminar Flow bench/equilant.
2)Good Data extraction utility as after replacement of platter/read write head we require and take data back ASAP.
3)Having good stock of hard drive as per donor drive.
so please check to send your hard drive as thats your right yo ask to any data recovery company or take your hard drive back..but dont open your hard drive at your own as after that no body can retrive your data so please ask they are having the clean room/equilant or they are having the conitions like your home so please ask ..as after having dust inbeetween of platter and read write head, the head or the platter surface will destroy after replacement from donor drive..
