frelled external harddrive

[minxy]

Do you suppose there's anything I can do about an external harddrive that I couldn't repair with disc utility, wiped, worked for a while, failed again and now isn't even recognized by the computer?

I once heard of people freezing their drives as a last ditch effort. It would be nice to recover all the movies on there. Any chance of that? Last time I did a temporary back-up, but didn't have room to save the copies.

Ah, computers.
