| I didn't know this until earlier today. If you have a hard drive fry on you, put it in the freezer for about an hour. Have something set up to back up stuff from it. After that hour of freezing, plug it back in to the computer. It will work fine most of the time. I read it in an issue of PC Monthly or something like that. Thought it sounded funny so I decided to try it, and it worked. It doesn't work for long though, so get the files you need and turn it back off. And remember, wrap it in something or put it in a ziplock bag so it doesnt get wet. (edited by Kario on 06-19-04 07:50 PM) |

It's weird, but it works.  Of course, wrap it in some sort of plastic bag first, so it doesn't get wet. |

Originally posted by HyperHacker Originally posted by Kario ...yeah.  I heard about this trick, I would try it out if I had a "fried out" HD. I'm not sure why it works, but you should only do this as your last resort.  There is comapnies who can retrive data from Broken HD's, but they take out alot of money.  |

| I never knew about that. I've got seven or eight drives I'm going to have to try that on. |
