If the data on the drive is worth the expense, the drive can be disassembled under clean room conditions. The magnetic platters can then be read bit by bit by special equipment where they are not totally destroyed, and sometimes missing data can be reconstructed by analysis of the readable data. It is then written to a new drive. Obviously, this can cost many thousands of dollars. My son had the oportunity to take a drive from his workplace (glad to say, he was not the one at fault for the lack of a backup) to the nearest big city and spend a day watching this process. It was fascinating, and I was envious.
