Re: Please help me resurrect a dead hard drive
He said Spinrite had "recovered" in quotes, so I think he means that it had not actually recovered the data, could have made it clearer in the original post!

Try sticking the HDD inj the fridge for a few hours as a last resort, it just might work long enough for you to recover the data. Had to resort to this last ditch resort a few weeks ago at work. When the drive reached a temperature it was happy with, it worked long enough to recover everything.
