If you've got the funds and/or your data is important enough, I would
*highly* recommend DriveSavers in Novato (www.drivesavers.com). They've
recovered data from worse.
If you want to go your own route, be very careful. Once you spin a drive
up that's been damaged, you're likely going to inflict more damage upon it.
Cheers,
Jordan

There seems to be more problems with things melted to them than them actually melting. Anyway I'm trying to bone up on knowledge and come up with a plan before I do anything. I'm thinking of getting a WD book terabyte drive for file/image backup. So I thought I'd post here and ask for input.
