The freezer trick works quite well, I've sucessfully recovered the data from many drives doing this.
Here's what I do:
Put drive in freezer bag then place drive in freezer for approx 1 hour.
Connect drive to pc that already has OS.
Boot into OS and quickly copy as much data from the drive until it stops responding.
Go to fridge and collect beer, open beer and marvel in your in ingenuity at recovering your valuable data ;-)
