Oh dang. I would advise against the freezer bit. I have a extensive experience in data recovery. I agree that the external case should be ruled out first. There are several options. Most of my experience is using Linux and low lever utilities. I have used http://www.file-recovery.com/successfully. The main issue is that you do not overwrite any portion of the data.
If however the data is worth the expense there are always data recovery shops. I have worked with the guys here http://www.drivesaversdatarecovery.com/ and have been pleased with the turnaround and results. However. expect to pay an arm and a leg for the data. but most of all, do not write anything to the disk until you have your data. There are several other companies so shop around. ask a lot of questions and make sure they can provide some kind of references. It is your data after all. Cheers and good luck. ps. Any computer technician worth his salt should be able to diagnose the disk or the enclosure.
