Re: [hard drive] Hard Drive Failure - Realistic Opinions/Suggest HDD enclosure is here, and ready to go. Hooked up the drive to it, put it in the freezer in the paper towel + bag. Going to leave it in overnight. Sometime tomorrow morning, I'm going to bring my laptop to the freezer, turn on the enclosure while it's in the freezer, and hook the USB cable from it to my laptop. And cross my fingers. 
In a strange twist of luck, when I looked at his PC today I noticed a second hard drive. Pulled that out, and put it into a spare PC I had here. This second HDD did not crash, and on it was his porn and music - two things he was worried about losing. I guess a few years ago when I setup his PC, I must have setup iTunes to put it on this D: drive. So, looks like the music is saved. However, his newborn baby photographs are on the broken HDD.
Until tomorrow...
