Computer Myth..

The myth..

You can recover data from a failing hard drive by putting it in the freezer for a few hours and then reinstalling it in the computer.  True or False..??

The answer is..

TRUE..!!

While this method won’t magically fix whatever is wrong with your computer, it can get your hard drive working long enough for you to recover important data before it gives up the ghost for good. This generally works best when the drive is making a tell-tale clicking sound caused by overheated metal parts that have expanded. Freezing the hard drive cools and shrinks the metal so the drive will mount properly and run long enough (hopefully) for you to copy your files to another source.
