I tried the freezer idea but it didn't work. Does anyone have any other ideas? It's a Dell laptop with a Seagate 160GB SATA drive

Jump to Postthe freezer idea is so close to a myth it ain't funny!
it only keeps the hdd from getting hot really quick ,so you can get a few important file off of it .so if the drive isn't getting hot when you connect it then the freezer will do nothing …
Jump to PostHere you can find at least 200 ways that might work for you to try to revive your HDD for just the right amount of time to copy your files. The most important thing is BACKUP, BACKUP, BACKUP. Trust me, I have learned the hard way. LOL.
Jump to Postabout 199 of them are to freeze down the drive .lol
