Subject: RE: Hard drive crash

The one thing you can try (Though I'm 99% sure is not what is affecting your drive) is to let it run for a bit and touch each of the integrated circuits on the logic board, if you detect that one of them is extraordinarily hot you might be able to revive the drive temporarily by putting thermal paste on the overheating IC and heatsinking it.

Other than that, there's not much else to do, those SMART warnings popup for a reason.
