[QUOTE="§am, post: 96093, member: 9187"] I would NOT stick my laptop hard drive in the freezer if it's just BSOD'ed on ya!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And that's free advice from an IT professional :) As you drive isn't making any obvious signs of death, and the fact it appears this is a sudden BSOD for you, chances are the drive is fine and something else has failed. Could be simple as a driver update or something more complex. Have you tried booting into safe mode? As you're going to be hooking the drive up to an external enclosure, no sense in potentially killing it before managing to get access to it. One thing to note, if you have encrypted your files you will run into problems accessing it potentially [/QUOTE]
