How to Recover a dead Hard Drive

I made my trip to MSY today to get a new Hard Drive so I can recover all my data to. I ended up getting a 500GB Western Digital. Their prices are pretty decent. As the drive isn’t even seen in Windows and I can hear it clicking from the other room I figure it’s in pretty bad shape. Steps I’ve taken so far.

Put the dead hard drive in a zip lock bag
Placed this in the freezer

Going to leave it there overnight and try and start recovering data in the morning. From what I’ve read this is a very temporary fix and if I’m lucky it might make the drive work for just enough time to recover the missing data.

Loc did it on his drive today and I think it worked quite well for him so fingers crossed! Seems to have a pretty good success rate from the research I’ve done. Will let you know how it goes.

Was doing some christmas shopping the other day and went into Myer in Rundle Mall. Came across the games department and found the below picture of the xbox360 display unit. 3 red lights of death! haha. I’ve had to fix mine for this a few times already, ended up buying a new console. Few friends have had to do the same and the rest are just waiting for it to happen. hahhaa. what a piece of SHIT!
