    Q- Optimizing Hard Drive Freezer Method

    I'm guessing I can find this command using Cygwin XTerm but do you think I should setup linux as an OS instead? Would there be a difference? On that note, I have Windows 7 on a dual-boot setup. I'm wondering if it's worth a shot trying to access from there. I'm guessing it makes no difference...

    Q- Optimizing Hard Drive Freezer Method

    I have a corrupt hard drive that I've tried using the freezer trick with but there are a couple of obstacles that seem to be keeping the time window I have from being used optimally. My guess is there's nothing can be done but I thought I'd at least put them out there in case they stirred any...
