Logical failure refers to non-physical damage to a hard drive, typically affecting its file system or software rather than the hardware itself. In this case, the computer’s BIOS may still detect the hard drive, but it may not be able to access the data on it. The partition might fail to mount, or Windows may report that no drive is present. In more severe cases of logical failure, the hard drive may appear to spin normally, but the BIOS may fail to recognize it completely.
A hard drive is divided into sectors, and each sector is typically organized into logical units called logical drives.
Master Boot Record (MBR) Failure:
The Master Boot Record (MBR) is located in the first sector of the hard disk drive. If the MBR becomes corrupted or inaccessible, it can provide the operating system with incorrect booting instructions. As a result, the hard drive will fail to boot properly.
Operating system errors:
Sometimes, errors in the operating system or registry can occur due to viruses, malicious programs, or corrupt system files. These issues can lead to a logical failure of the hard drive.
Unintended data deletion:
Deletion, formatting or reformatting partitions and incorrect partitioning of hard drive can occur due to system or human errors leading to file structure corruption and logical failure of hard disk
Incorrect System Shutdown:
Improper termination of the system, whether intentional or accidental, can damage the file structure of the hard drive or make it inaccessible.
