Freezer, I tried the drive in a freezer bag trick. Didn't work. I've read about it several times over the year.
user neeeds, It looks like I can get an image in dos mode using Acronis True Image, tho if that fails, I'll try Ghost.
Also, I ran Winternals Disk Commander from DOS and note I can make some changes to the HD, which I won't do until I can be sure I've got a good image, or clone. Last night I ran Acronis which said it would run for 6 hours and I thought the disk would fit on a blank 250 GB I have in the machine but it stopped after 4 hours (out of space). Gonna put in a larger HD and see how it goes.
Thanks for the tips.
