i've always connected it right up.

I've heard of this but never tried it. Do I connect it up immediately
after removing it from the freezer or let it "thaw" for a period time
first?

Stick in a freezer overnight.

A co-worker was using his PC last night and heard the hard drive make
a "clunk" and then Windows froze. He rebooted but it froze at the
desktop. Tried rebooting again and it just hangs at POST. He brought
me the PC today to look at. Bios does not recognize that there is a
hard drive attached. Tried the usual of reseating cables and power
connections, but I think the drive has died.
He is a teacher and had this quarter's grade for each of his classes
stored on this hard drive and no backup. Are there any tricks I might
be able to try to get this drive running long enough to pull some
data off of it?
Thanks for any suggestions,
Jerry
