I was at a forum for one of the games I play. They currently released a beta and I am helping everyone sort out their hardware based issues. Someone needed to get get some information off their hardrive which is bad. He asked if the freezer trick might work. I have heard about this but haven't tried it or told anyone to use it because it dosen't sound like a good idea to put a hardrive in the freezer. Is this like a last resort thing to do, and how would a freezer help get info off a bad harddrive?
