 Hard drive died? Stick it in the freezer. No I have not lost the plot, but it has been known to work admittedly perhaps only temporarily.

| Hard drive died? Stick it in the freezer. Lol. Only works for about 2 minutes though. Shame. Could buy broken hard drives, freeze them, and re-sell them :D:D

| Hard drive died? Stick it in the freezer. In theory policy's should be in place that won't allow a persons privacy to be accessed, ie the drive/s should be wiped before any recovery work is done on them.

| Hard drive died? Stick it in the freezer. Alot of people think that formatting the drive is good enough, however data can still be retrieved

| Hard drive died? Stick it in the freezer. How on earth did you wash your keyboard in a washing machine?!  Didn't it make a ruckus?! Did you run it through a drying cycle, too? |
