Well I always thought this was a myth but it worked for me. I have a hard drive that just quit working. The computer reconized it in the Device Manager but it wouldn’t show up in My Computer. I tried connecting it with a USB adapter and setting up as a slave on an ide cable. As a last ditch effort I tried putting it in the freezer for 4 hours. I then conncted it as a master on ide 2 and it worked. I was able to save all the files from the drive. It still works after it thawed out.
