I basicly know nothing about harddrive mechanics.. but seems to have been scratched at two places, one in almost center and one ring further out. Does this mean the disk is completely done with and a head replacement would literally do nothing but waste time?

Could ANY of the data still be recovered?
Sorry for my ignorance!

Yeah, looks very buggered. Will cost buckets to get anything off it. Thats when backups normally come in handy.

How did it get in that state?

I'd say to check other surfaces, but one in that state usually tells enough about the others.

Send it to the labs that claim 99% success rates...I wish we only saw these cases 1% of the time.

If it's just the top platter, there may be some chance to recover the data, by clipping the donor's top head and cleaning the platter in an ultrasonic cleaner, as discussed here by "Frank".

usually when top platter is that damaged, the dust particles travel around inside the drive and make the same damage on the underlayer.

Amarbir, theres a man called Dai Shimogaito, he is really good in that technique.

Watch him:

There is a huge difference between cleaning the HSA with an ultrasonic cleaner and cleaning the platters.

I am not recommend to use ultrasonic cleaner for HSA. For platters -may be, but not for HSA.

I agree, the above example shown by Dai is about cleaning a dirty head, not cleaning/repairing the surface.
Cleaning of the heads, as Vitaly said is not recommended to be done by ultrasonic. There is other technique which helps save A LOT of spare parts.
