 Hard disk - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The first computer with a hard disk drive as standard was the IBM 350 Disk File, introduced in 1955 with the IBM 305 computer.
From the original use of a hard drive in a single computer, techniques for guarding against hard disk failure were developed such as the redundant array of independent disks (RAID).
A hard disk drive (also hard drive, or hard disk drive (HDD)) is a non-volatile data storage device that stores data on a magnetic surface layered onto hard disk platters.

 Hard Drive Data Recovery hard drive data recovery Page
Accidentally deleting a file or formatting a hard drive or floppy disk is a common reason for data loss.
In the event of a hard drive crash or an unwise change in settings by an uninformed user, the restore tool can be used to retrieve deleted data or to restore the computer’s settings from an earlier time.
Remember that if you have accidentally erased a file, it may not have vanished from your computer.

 Adventures in hard drive recovery
It may be the result of a head crash, a computer virus, an accidental deletion, or perhaps a stroll through a magnetic field, but whatever the cause, hard drive recovery will quickly become a priority.
Another solution is to buy hard drive recovery software.
Consequently, when the time comes to restore their files, they end up with useless data.

 Step By Step - Upgrading your hard drive
This'll work if the drive you're copying from contains only data files and directories, but a system drive contains files and directories on which the operating system maintains a "lock", preventing you from doing anything with them while Windows or their associated applications are running.
Windows 2000 makes partitioning and formatting easy; with a fresh-from the-anti-static-bag hard drive plugged in, you just boot Windows and then, in Win2000, use Disk Management to turn it into the kind of volume you want it to be.
It is, indeed, possible to use XCOPY to copy all of the important files from one drive to another in Windows.

 Hard Drive Failure Diagnostics - Troubleshooting IDE CD, DVD and Hard Drive Problems
If this doesn't do it, it sounds like either the drive's MBR is messed up, or there's a problem with the way the software is communicating with the BIOS, which really shouldn't happen.
Any time two IDE drives share a single cable, the computer needs a way to tell them apart.
The boot hard drive should always be the Master on the primary IDE interface.

No, the real threat to hard drives are the people that use them, by which I mean you and me. Hard drives, being the dynamic storage devices that they are, are extremely easy to erase in any number of amusing and simple to achieve ways...
Abstract: Hard drives, being the dynamic storage devices that they are, are extremely easy to erase in any number of amusing and simple to achieve ways.
Never mind the fact that unlike tapes or CDs or other methods of storage, hard drives are mechanical, active devices and are thus subject to comparatively rapid breakdown.

 How to partition and format a hard disk in Windows XP
If your computer uses drive overlay software for large hard disk support, do not use the Windows XP Setup program to partition or to format the drive until you have verified Windows XP compatibility with the software manufacturer.
For information about how to configure your computer to start from the CD-ROM drive, the DVD-ROM drive, or the floppy disk drive, see the documentation that is included with your computer, or contact the computer manufacturer.
Insert the Windows XP CD-ROM into your CD-ROM drive or DVD-ROM drive, or insert the first Windows XP Setup disk into the floppy disk drive, and then restart the computer.
