Assuming this is not backed up, in which case....
Don't think there is any non-expensive recovery for what sounds like
physical disk failure. In particular freezing etc is not a good plan
if you really want to see the data again.
I think the advice is switch it off, leave it off, and dont jiggle it around.
The data is either worth a professional recovery attempt (? 3-500) or
its not :-(
Next time ? RAID
