sometimes freezing them helps. i had a drive that failed because the arm got loose or something and i froze the drive and hooked it up and was able to get some of the data off before it warmed up then i froze it again and got some more. but after a few time it was trash

You guys talking about actually freezing your computer's hard drive? I have never heard of that.
bjohanson1234

Yeah. The clearances are so small inside a hard drive that cooling it down to freezing temps makes them slightly bigger (colder material contract a bit) So the read heads can move a bit more freely. Of course it only lasts for a few minutes and you gotta try again.
