Hard Drive Clicking

[dannaswolcott]

I have a hard drive with tones of things on it that went bad. Hard drive powers on and clicks, Is there anything I can do to try and get my data off of it? All i need to do is get my data off. Should i try freezing it. Thanks in advance for your help!

Only thing I can think of is to go take it to someone who can rebuild it and get the data off. Its not worth the money, unless its really important id let it go. I have a hard drive that clicks one time when I access it, its got all my backup's on it, so im going to buy another one and replace it before it croaks. Sorry to hear it though man, but theres really not much you can do short of rebuilding the drive and or having someone pull the data off for you, but its costly.
