Logical Failure of Hard Drives

It means that the hard drive is in normal working condition but has got files damaged due to overwriting, virus attacks or wrong formatting.

In a logical failure, the hard drive is functional but reads an error when certain files cannot be accessed due to incorrect partitions or accidental deletions. Consequently, logical data recovery is defined as the rebuilding of damaged or corrupted files. It involves the reconstruction and repair of those data files which have suffered damage due to user error or virus attack. Logical data recovery does not aim to repair the entire hard drive. The recovery is narrow focusing on the repair of corrupted data files within the hard drive.
