This is not a critical data drive, just a start up drive gone south. I don't think freezing is "Old School" as has been mentioned in this thread it could be electronic in nature and small traces on PCBs sometime will shrink when frozen and remake and or break contact, I will spare you the analogy that comes to mind, but that's why on a tech bench they have component cooling spray. It may not work but it's worth it around lunch time to go pull the drive out of the freezer in the kitchen just for the looks I get.
