I might just be imaging things, but I could swear that I've heard of sticking a dead drive in the freezer for a brief resurrection. Of course, once removed from the freezer, I would think it would need to warm up to avoid condensation, and once it's warm, is the benefit of the freezer time lost?<br>

While we're on the topic of hard drives, (and a great excuse to post my first message with you all!) I just had my G-Drive Mini take a turn for the worse. When i plug it in via firewire 400, the power light comes on but the harddrive doesnt spin or turn on. So i tried opening disk utility, doesnt show up. I opened up terminal: cd /Volumes and ls.... Still doesnt show up. I took the drive out, hooked it up to a sata reader, still no luck.<br>

Before I send the thing up to a data recovery center, do you guys have any tips/tricks/last resorts I might try? Otherwise Ive lost all of my current photoshop web designs... not good when you have projects going on currently... :|<br>

Oh and hi, I'm Noah.<br>
