[ubuntu-uk] Hard drive- Bad sectors

[Dan Attwood]

I've done the freezer trick before on a failing hard drive and it does work.
I found it best to wrap the drive up and give it half an hour in the freezer
and then when you take it out balance it circuit board down on a pack of
frozen sausages to keep it cooler for longer.

However I don't think this trick will work on bad sectors. It worked for
be because one of the chips on the circuit board was failing and
overheating, which would then shut the drive down.
