Xfiles Recovery

    There is an abundance of commercial data recovery software, some are quite effective, others unimpressive. The problem is that comercial recovery programs are designed to work on physically safe drives but often fail when the drive encounters an unreadable area. They use the default drive's firmware reading retry number trying to read a bad spot and usually end up sinking the magnetic heads into the platter. Increased noise is one of the signs that the hard drive is coming close to a crash.
