Freezing a hard drive will sometimes kick-start it into working
for up to 20 minutes.
Put it inside a water-tight container then inside a freezer. Don't
leave it in there for more than two hours. Then put it back either
on the secondary IDE channel or as a slave drive. Boot from a
different hard drive and recover as much data as possible before it
fails again.
