No joke! We do this already for around 15 yrs. Some points to remind: 1) I guess we had an average result of between 60% - 70% with "unwilling" HDs to get them accessible. 2) In case of success: BU imm. and forget that HD or use for futher exp./fun only. 3) Put the HD in a wellsealed plastic bag. Best is vacuumsealed. Put in the freezer for 6 hrs. Take out and from now: Move the HD as less as poss. AND leave it in the sealed bag till it has roomtemp. (For opening earlier will cause a lot of condensation on/in the HD.) 4) Mount imm. after reaching roomtemp. and hope for the best. HTH, Jo -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
