Are you an idea if it's a manufactured hole or not?

Thanks

Hello d.rob,

I perfectly see two scratches on the platter. So what is the history of that disk:
- was it in use or not?
- did you run this drive before open?
- and why do you tell that it is so strange?
Awaiting for reply.

Regards.

This 'strange' hole is in fact deep circular scratch caused by damaged head.
This is (nearly) impossible to recover.

EDIT:Sorry for reviving old post, but how come it showed up to me as 'new post' ?
