I used Cherry Systems, http://www.cherrysystems.com/home.html, a while back
to recover hdd with corrupted io controller (or something like that - don't
remember by now). I've shopped around, and they were by far the cheapest.
OnTrack is a known brand in this industry, but also was much more

Thanks for all the replies. If it would spin up I have Ontracks
recovery tools that could get whatever data was there. I guess the
freezer is worth a try, but I thought

I've read stories of manufacturers technical solution to stiction
involving lifting the computer a couple inches from the desk, and
dropping it.

Yep, the old 6 drop test. :-) Also good for reseating socketed chips that
have worked their way lose.

Seems like it could be a good candidate for the freezer trick...

Might be worth trying the ol' freezer trick.

Like Jon said, the freezer. Or 'OnTrack', forgot their pricing per GB,
but I would guess around $400 a drive that size.

Speculating about the increased cost they quoted...probably has to be done
more than one time to pull the data from it.
The drive may heat up enough where it locks up again, so they have to go
back and freeze it multiple times...a hassle.

I've actually tried the 'ol freezer deal a few times with no success. We've
worked with Ontrack for a few HDD's and although pricey, they've worked all
the time and the turn-around was lighting fast.

If it can be put back into the external enclosure then put it into the
freezer and leave it there just run the wires out of the freezer and pull
the data while it is closed up in there.
I had to do this once with a laptop. I was able to keep the drive going for
several days before it died
Funny, just literally Last Week, I was recently presented a laptop hard disk
by a coworkers where the platters did not spin up at all. I could hear some
faint clicks from the drive, but no spindle motor.
He was in the same boat as you. Just some photos. Not a deal breaker, but
