If it's possible to put it in the freezer, in a bag and let it chill for a few hours. Then if you can run long enough cables to run the hard drive while it's still in the freezer, that will give you a longer amount of time to pull the data off.

lol

Tried that...no change. just the click of death and no recognition in disk management. I was able to reflash the Bios to it last night and it made no difference. I only dropped the thing less than a foot off the ground! What a POS! I toss my 2.5 inch 750gb Seagate momentus in a cheap enclosure all the time and it's survived much, much worse and still runs perfect. Looking forward to when SSD's are affordable enough to get a Tb or so. You can grab a 128 gb for 100 now but the 480 Gb are still ridiculously expensive.
