Logical part - The files have been overwritten
Physical part - The disc is scratched or damaged

Even if the disc has some scratches, the data recovery is possible?

Bad sectors are physical problems, but this means that the head touched the disc?

Usually data recovery companies use software and hardware to take scratches discs and repair bad sectors before the data recovery itself?

Rookie mistake, but yes, could happen.

When you spend weeks researching SSD and finally get the go-ahead for chip off. Then customer gives a week and wants device back.... THEN kicks up a stink because the BGA NAND chips are de-soldered and I won't re-ball them and solder them back on. everything was previously explained IN DETAIL to the PC Shop who took the customer on.

3rd hand customers are NOT the way to go IMHO..

Inexperienced folks thinking the profession is a veritable gold mine, setting up as a DR company or even worse "Forensics", and using clients drives as training material with the hope that if they get lucky they get paid.

Finding pictures of your wife having sex with the owner of the HDD you are recovering when you open a bunch of JPG to test for file integrity :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

depends which way you look at it.. at least now you would have a LOT more time to devote to DR ;-)

One of my biggest fears! It's the reason I will never connect my target drive to a PC-3000 channel. PC-3000 is for patient, SATA is for destination. That's my rule.

Not the worst thing by far, but one of the most annoying things is completing a job only for the destination drive to bomb out and you either have to recover the desti or reprocess the recovery.
