AH, the old frezzer trick.
I thought you had to use a walk-in freezer and do the copying from inside. :D

If you still have the old hard drive, put it in a zip-lock bag and put it in the freezer over night. Then take it out of the freezer and put it in a desktop as a slave drive. Then try transferring your files from the slave drive to your master drive. Keep doing it until the hard drive fails, then bag it and freeze it again. Keep doing that until you get all your files, or it no longer works.
This is NOT a good idea. Whatever damage there currently is to the drive is likely to be complicated even more by doing this. This might have worked on a drive from 10 years ago, but not on todays hard drives.

I first heard that quote about 20 years ago, not in Aussie Land. I have always found it to be true, and I was in the horse business then. In fact, the better they said they rode, the deader the horse I put them on.
As far as the photos, I keep a back up on a pocket drive, and another copy on the "ether" and a third copy on DVDs. (wreck divers do everything in double redundancy)

Hi. My name is Rick and I'm the owner and lead technician of Discount Camera Repair. I'm a professional camera technician and have a small, home based business doing repairs for many of the members here at the UHH at very reasonable rates.
I use Photo Rescue for smaller jobs like cards or internal memory on point & shoots and Undelete Plus for larger recoveries like hard drives.

Data Rescue 3 is a pretty thorough drive recovery program, even for mostly dead drives. I once dedicated a computer to rescue someone's PC main drive. It only spun up once in a while, but, SIX WEEKS later, the entire drive was recovered with very little loss as to pictures, music and the like.
Even if you, or someone else, erased your files, as long as you have not done a lot of writing to the drive, Data Rescue will retrieve them all.

Are you saying it's an extremely slow program? It is thorough though.
