Fixing a Crushed Hard Disk

There is nothing as Sad as having all your important documents and data disappear right in-front of your eyes. All that music collection, the movies you had saved, the documents... in-short your whole life. As for now your computer is as good as dead. your heart is racing fast, you know its all over and there is nothing you can do to bring it back. You call a technician and they give you the sad news 'there is nothing we can do.'
Actually there is something you can do...
If you have tried using data recovery softwares and you still dont get anything out of it fact your computer is not even booting this is what you do...
Place the Hard disk in the Freezer. Yes your home Fridge but seal it in such a way that no moisture goes in it. Let it stay there for at-least 12hours or more. Immediately you remove it from the freezer connect it to the computer and power it. You will see that it will boot normally.
Harvest as much data as you can by the normal 'cut' and 'paste' on another media like a portable Hard drive or your Flash disk.
How it Works...
A hard disk contains plates inside it and niddles that read and write information on them. This are very sensitive and the niddles are so close to the plate surface even the smallest speck of dust can make it crush that's why hard disk drives are air proof. If the needle becomes loose it 'looses' its normal position and could be touching the surface of the plates making it impossible to read the information on the disk. But placing it in the fridge the needle will contract and regain its original shape allowing it to boot normally. But this method is not permanent; as soon as the hard disk becomes 'warm' it will loose its position again. But you will have collected some data from it. You can repeat this over and over to your satisfaction...
