+1. freezer overnight in a ziploc bag. take it out and immediately run data recovery software on it. GetDataBack for NTFS and GetDataBack for FAT are both pretty good. I've had 2/6 successes so far.
if this does not work, throw it back into the freezer overnight. when you take it out, keep the ziploc on, get dry ice and cover the top and bottom of the hd. this will keep it cold. try backing up again.
if this does not work, bang the edges on a table, with enough force to crack an egg. try again.
if this does not work, then you are out of luck.
