Emergency measuresAs told to me by a friend, and I think a couple on here can vouch for thsi working.
Unplug hard drive and remove from computer. Place in freezer for a while (can't remember the exact time). Quickly - plug it in and put it back in, and backup asap. If it is the hard drive that's causing the problem... this should at least buy you enough time to backup important files

"Quickly - plug it in and put it back in"
Or alternatively, put the PC/Laptop in the fridge when you put the HD back in.
