Hey, that brings up a question. I have heard tell that
sometimes when a hard drive binds up you can put it in a freezer
overnight and it may run again, at least long enough to get the data
off it.
The assumption being that it binds up because of heat and
when it has cooled and contracted, it works again.
Anyone ever get this to actually work?
