Is there a scientific reason of why freezing a hard drive would do that?
If I were to guess, I'd say that sections of the hard disk were overheated briefly from a power surge, affecting the integrity of the disk, and that freezing them may have re-integrated the disk material before the disintegration could progress further.
I'd guess that if I had a clue what I'm talking about.
