(this is for getting back data from a fecked up hdd) instead of sending to Ontrack)
when i was over in germany visiting Family my cousin sven told me about the freezer technique, so one day my hard drive of my laptop went caput with all that clicking sounds etc. and i had alot of documents from college on it. so he told me to get the HDD and put it into the freezer for about 1hr 1/2 and then straight back into the laptop and guess what it worked my windows 98 booted up and i was able to get most of my files to a floppy for about 30 min before the HDD would act up on me again.
and it still works for me not unless the motor inside is fried or the platter has fallen off somehow.
so try it and see
