Have you tried the freezer trick yet? It didn't work for me, but other
people have had success with it. When I tried it, the drive did respond
faster, even though it ultimately still did not get recognized properly by
the BIOS.

Put the drive in the freezer for an hour, then hook it up to the computer
and see what happens.

I left mine in for 24 hours and was able to retrieve the data I needed /but/ had
to keep spraying the chip with a freezing spray to keep it going for long
enough...
