I also had to do the hard drive freezer thingie except with mine it had my operating system on it. My wife was so pissed off. I didn't back up any of my photos from 2002-2006! hehe. She was getting ready to file for the divorce when i did the freezer thing. Put it in for about 8 hours and then i was holding the frozen harddrive, hitting it with a screwdriver until I could load into windows to do a back up of my pics. Dvd was at 98% when the whole thing starting smoking. Got most of my pics but lost everything else.
Man i wish USB drives were a common thing back then.

I've actually done the freezer trick 3 or 4 times and the drives became fully usable again and I still use them to this day (although for nothing serious). Lucky I guess.
