Logical data recovery is performed when there is nothing physically wrong with a hard disk. Examples of problems requiring logical recovery include virus corrupted data, master boot record corrupt, partition table corrupt, deleted files, or a formatted hard disk. Physical data recovery is performed when there is physical damage to the components of a hard disk such as circuit board failure, read/write arm failure, platter damage, and hard drive motor failure.
