Anyway, it was a great time and I'm really happy we pulled this off so smoothly. To bigger and better things next semester! Thanks to all the kids who just wanted to show up and support the event and all the kids who brought in some sweet rigs that put mine to shame. (Not for long though, hehe :) ) Should have been more like Antec party was a huge success….

The answer is a: True.

This generally works best when the drive is making a tell-tale clicking sound caused by overheated metal parts that have expanded. Freezing the hard drive cools and shrinks the metal so the drive will mount properly and run long enough (hopefully) for you to copy your files to another source.</i> I always thought clicking was due to a misalligned head or something but this makes sense as well.

Great post John. At first it sounded like the time I was told you can fix disc scratches with toothpaste... but mechanical solutions always seem to have weird fixes. I can only assume in agreement that the freezing keeps something in order on the inside. So if putting things in the freezer permits a temporary working status, I wonder if it'll work on Peck long enough to let us get him a part time job? ;) SCIENCE!!!
