What is a head crash?
A head crash is when the read-write head of a hard drive touches the rotating platter's). The head normally rides on a thin film of moving air entrapped at the surface of the platter. Higher capacity drives (using the same size and number of platters) are obtained by running the head closer to the platter. A tiny particle of dirt or other particles can cause the head to bounce against the disk, destroying the thin magnetic coating on the disk, thus scraping away data with it.
