- Remember to always back up your data. Backing up your data is important so you can restore corrupted or lost files. Consider saving your important files to a network drive that is backed up frequently, if your local hard drive on your computer has no automatic backup functionality in place. Save a new document as soon as you begin it and set your application to save automatically every 5 to 10 minutes. Periodically test your backups. Remember, back up, back up, and back up!
I do not *have* a backup of my 60,000 MP3s...
Matthew suggested the old freezer trick, which he defined as "Put[ting] the hard drive in a plastic freezer bag (to protect it from moisture) and then in the freezer. When it is really cold, sometimes you can plug them in and they will work for an hour or two, often long enough to get data off. There are no promises, but if all else has failed, I've seen it work."
I've also found a freeware that is supposed to help me.
