[Thinkpad] OT: data recovery (was: Re: FS: TP Memory)

[Alex Austin]

Do'nt laugh, but put the drive in a USB case and put the drive in the
freezer while using it. Then, it should last a little longer. If you have
another drive of the same size, put that in the computer in its place and
use a linux live cd (www.sysresccd.org) to run "dd_rescue" to copy the data
from the USB to the internal drive.
