If you stick the HD in a plastic baggie, put in a freezer overnight, you can reinstall the HD, and get whatever you can off of it, before it heats up and malfunctions again. Temporarily cures bad boards and bad bearings... I've done this before and used Ghost (a cloning program) to completely copy a nearly dead HD.
