Re: [OS X] Hard drive dead in Powermac G4, lost everything

said by jadev :

Is there anyway to get the data off of my dead HD?
Pay for pro recovery or maybe you could try and freeze the hard drive. Don't try and boot from the dead drive, and try & use an external firewire enclosure, maybe even keeping the HDD & enclosure in the freezer while trying to recover files. You won't have much time, if it works. 20 minutes, maybe.

I've never tried it, but have heard numerous success stories.

YMMV

Regards,
Mike
