It was on your "dead computer" thread - I posted a hack for disassembling the harddrive, taking the disks out and installing them in another body with working read heads. If you do do this as soon as it powers up effect a global transfer to another drive because reassembled drives are as stable as a celebrity marriage and may well go down again in fairly short order - like next time you power them up, the drive is dead but we might be able to save your pics. There is only about a 75% chance of this working but its worth a shot as you have nowt to lose really.

I'd offer to do it for you but I'm a bit too busy at the moment, PM me if you get stuck tho.
