Logical Hard Drive Failure
From Free Knowledge Base- The DUCK Project: information for everyone
Logical Hard Drive Failure is less severe than Physical Hard Drive Failure. The level of logical failure may vary from simple file deletion, curable through simple hard disk recovery software, to serious file system corruption, which may require advanced utilities.
Data Recovery From a Failing Hard Drive is more likely and less complicated when logical hard drive failure occurs as opposed to a drive having physical or mechanical failure. There are many software tools capable of recovering data from a drive with logical errors.
