Progress Report!

It would seem that hope is not lost!!
I tried a trick last night from a friend and froze my HD in two ziplock baggies in the freezer.
Came home from work, pulled it out and it turns out I was able to access it again!
I managed to go in as quickly as I could and pulled out some PSD files that were still recoverable
paying no attention to the por- I mean.. the ... the uhm...
...
Moving on!
It didn't take long for the drive to be unrecognizable again.
I was only able to successfully transfer over maybe twenty files this way. I heard that you
can just simply repeat this process, but I was curious if there was something else I could do.
I ran that recovery software and did mange to recover... roughly 74% of my HD? Impressive amount
considering most of it were scattered into fragements. It saved -SOME- PSD files but few had
the layers saved, even fewer were actually converted to a JPG format with horrible pixelation
from compression and possible damage, or 90% just honestly were corrupted even though
they were "recovered".
... Suddenly Idea.
GOOGLE WILL HELP ME!
So'nuff I found a PSD repair program that is now in the process of attempting
to repair some of the broken PSD files it found *whisper* Roughly 2345 files..
But who's counting!? I checked one and it recovered the PSD but the layers were jumbled
into separate mask layers, which was weird, but salvageable!
It'll take a few more hours... so here's hoping!!
FA+
