All you have to do is put it in the freezer overnite and then in the morning simply install it in a slave situation to a master hard drive and many times the drive will be accessable and you can transfer the data from it to a Flash drive or to the Master Hard Drive. If you know someone that is into computers they may be able to do it for you. BTW, freezing the hard drive will not damage it.

Try freezing it for about 30min and reconnecting it to the computer, this option only gives you about 15-20 mins, so you need to get your data off ASAP. It also depends on how bad the drive was damaged. Last but no least try geek squad they might be able to get you data of around $99-$160.
