There is a very special caveat to the freezer trick, in my experience. Yes, it really can work, but you have to be ready to move files quickly. The cold reduces the size of the head slightly, sometimes just long enough for the platter to spin up and get you some data. But you have to put it in the freezer NEXT TO ICE CREAM. Your mileage may vary.

Never heard of that trick before. Sounds like it would work.
Here's a link for more info on it:
