A head crash is a type of hard disk failure that occurs when a read/write head touches the fast spinning disk platters. It is very catastrophic - it can destroy lots of data - even the data needed to start an operating system can be destroyed.

A head crash is a hard disk failure in a computer. It can result from a power failure or by the accumulation of dirt and dust on the hard disk's rotating platter.
