I asked a system administrator for recommendations and sent a name to my friend. <P>I heard back from my friend today that he was able to successfully retrieve data from his dying hard drive without spending a dollar and simply by freezing the hard drive. After 24 hours of freezing he was able to get the drive to work for about 10 to 15 minutes. If you find this unbelievable :w00t: or want to learn more about this handy trick, check out the following blog post,</P><A href="http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html">http://geeksaresexy.blogspot.com/2006/01/freeze-your-hard-drive-to-recover-data.html</A>Thu, 31 May 2007 00:19:09 GMTsinnerMan
