There’s also the freeze-hard-drive-in-ziploc-bag approach, has anyone tried that? A controversial technique, to be sure.
I've used this a couple of times and I have a drive that I'm recovering data from that I put a cold pack on it. Read some data until it fails. Let it cool and freeze the pack, ad infinitum. Once I recover enough stuff I'll let Linux 'fix' the drive and see if it recovers. You must be very careful to keep the electronics dry. That's not easy. -- Linux Home Automation Neil Cherry ncherry@linuxha.com http://www.linuxha.com/ Main site http://linuxha.blogspot.com/ My HA Blog Author of: Linux Smart Homes For Dummies
