Ole Sparky's been to computer school the past few days and one of the stranger pieces of information I came away with was this.........
Take your crashed-dead hard drive (if you have one, hope you never do) and before you send it off to the very expensive "recovery doctors" - do this......
Put it in an air-tight antistatic bag.....
Put that bag in your freezer with an ice-tray full of water.....
When the water has frozen solid, take the bag out - take the hard-drive and quickly install it back in your puter.....
Fire the beast up and dump all the pertinant information over to a CD or CD's - as swiftly as possible - "they say" you only get one chance so don't fuck up.
I swear this is a true story as told to me by my instructor and "they say" they have done it and it works.
And, if it doesn't work for you for whatever reason - the high priced recovery folks can still get your information out.
Pretty interesting - hope I never have to try it.
