Hard drives can suffer from a wide array of physical problems, and the likelihood of these problems developing tend to increase with age. Older hard drives are susceptible to head crashes, while hard disks both young and old may become scratched, contaminated, or demagnetized. Sometimes, without warning, a hard drive may fail for no discernible reason at all.

Some of these ailments can be remedied with software such as Scandisk or Check Disk. More serious physical problems, such as those resulting from fire or water damage, will demand that you consult a data recovery specialist. They will be able to put your media in a clean room, take it apart, and offer a 75-90% chance of recovering your data. There are no guarantees when it comes to getting your data back, as no one can tell what data is recoverable before assessing the drive or media and the damage. Most data recovery companies offer a no data recovered, no pay' promise. Avoid the ones who do not offer this guarantee, as you will have to pay for their time in trying to recover lost data.

If you think that the media is not experiencing physical problems, then you can potentially address your data loss with recovery software. You can get some great software that can do some pretty amazing things these days. There are even situations where you may be able to recover data using free data recovery tools. Before using any software utilities to recover data, remember to check first for any physical issues with the media, as if they are present, you may risk destroying whatever data remains when you power up.
