+Old Diego 66 Posted June 7, 2009 This might sound like insanity but if you want to make an attempt to get the data off, try this - freeze the drive. That's right, pop it in the freezer and get it nice and cold. Take it out and boot it up. You might get a good 10 minutes before it heats back up to grab data off. Continue doing this until you get all the data off. I've seen a few guys make some quick cash with this little trick. What do you have to lose? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Same thing happened to me. My ext HD died. Although I think it's just the USB power supply, so I might be able to retrieve the data on the actual drive later. Otherwise, 200Gb of gaming stuff, gone.
