hi,

I had a disk crash of my c:/ drive. It started making the computer very 
slow. Then it didn't boot at all. I took it out, and it was left a month 
or so. Had to install everything again, thankfully I had photos  on a 
backup drive, but Photoshop I had to install, among many different 
programs as well. I tried it bad disk again as another drive, and to my 
surprise I could restore half of the disk, before it crashed again. I 
let it cool, tried again and could restore the left.

There are many stories, even to put the disk in a freezer, and then 
reading data when the disk is very cold.

just my 2 cents
