Nice Links #1 -- How hardrives works and how they do recovery

Posted by coldtobi | 14 Mar, 2010, 10:07

I start a new series: Nice Links: Links I came around and I want to keep / share.

Today: Harddisks low level functionality explained, some types of errors and some approach to repair. (Interesting, but don't try this at home.)

http://www.myharddrivedied.com/presentations_whitepaper.html

I came accross this site, as my laptop's hardrive showed  some read erros in the log, and I wanted to know what the AMNF acrconym is all about. This was the error my drive showed. 

This also reminded me to do backups ;-)

As an addional link for today (contained in the original one): http://hddguru.com/content/en/software/2005.10.02-MHDD/ is a tool I needed some time earlier: Instead I tried with the OEM's tool to remap one nasty bad block -- as I found out, they are only remapped when written to it...

Another Xtra, link also stolen from the first site: A paper about HDD failure patterns: http://labs.google.com/papers/disk_failures.pdf
