I like your thinking on Fridges :) I have retrieved data this way before, but you need to put it in the freezer for an hour and then plug it stright into the PC for retrieval. It may not work as your drive sounds fooked, but there is no harm in trying. Have you thought of an Ice pack sandwich to keep the drive cool?
