Uh, you do realize that it will be completely dead the next time you boot up, right?

the temperature of the freezer is low enough that it kills whatever viruses have infected the harddrive

I actually have had some CDs that will stop working when they reach certain temperature (being spinned for too long). Took it out, put in the freezer for a minute or two, put it back, voila...(and had to repeat several times until installation was complete)

Umm, you're only supposed to freeze it for a few hours, not days.
