To answer the question, take the hard drive out of the laptop and freeze it. Make sure it's lightly wrapped in a cloth to prevent condensation when you remove it.
It does not need to be frozen for a long period, just make it very cold so it can remain cold while you reinstall. Make sure you are setup to get the data off the drive FAST.
