Logic: most 'natural' hard disk failures are due to residual thermal effects ( read: high temperature ) during the day-to-day running of the machine (disk ). Freezing temporarily reverses that effect. Magnetic properties of (most) materials ( on which disk read/write are based ) also improve with reduction in temperature. Hence....

Its true, freezing does help.. I dont know the logic behind it but I have seen it work, :)
