| 1295038 | 2012-08-16 04:01:00 | I took it 2 da pc repair shop :punk Yes, data can allways be recovered. How much money do you have. Take it to a Data Recovery specialist. Could cost thousands. If it was easy the repair shop would have offered to recover it |

| 1295040 | 2012-08-16 05:40:00 | wots wrong wif my fridge? I mean hard drive... DON'T PUT IT IN THE FRIDGE. If the computer repair place suggested you do that, they are idiots. Freezing them is a last resort for people who can't afford data recovery. It usually doesn't work, and may cause further damage due to moisture build-up. |

| 1295043 | 2012-08-16 07:14:00 | If you can't afford proper data recovery what would probably work well instead is Linux and ddrescue as I said to someone else on here recently | Agent_24 (57) | ||
| 1295044 | 2012-08-16 21:12:00 | From your first post, I assume that you did get another HHD. Can you now attach the old drive as a slave and access it and copy/paste you files from the old HDD to the new one? | Bryan (147) | ||

Freezing them is a last resort for people who can't afford data recovery. It usually doesn't work, and may cause further damage due to moisture build-up. The fridge/freezer is THE driest, most mositure free place in the house. Period. Any moisture build up can ONLY be moisture that was allready in the drive. If anything a fridge will remove moisture It can & does work,just not very often. If they guy doesnt want to pay $1000++ for a hardware level data recovery , then it's is a very good option. With a drive like his, its pretty certain that a software data recovery wont work, as the repair shop would have tried that (I presume) |
