Attached Link: Data Recovery From a Failed Hard Drive - Freezing Method

You're very welcome - been there too many times :-) I have one drive that goes away on occasion, but I can hear it trying to work. A gentle tap on the end of the case gets it working. Here is a link with info on the cold method (search for freeze hard drive and you'll find more. I'd make sure the drive is cool before proceeding to minimize condensation risk - i.e. don't take it out of a hot machine and pop it in the bag. Hope you get it back.
