Hello.
Man dont try anything fancy with the hdd cause you gonna have nasty results.
Try to start it with a hdd docking station whait until stops clicking and the usb it and migth work (happened to me one time with a cusotmer hdd).
You can also try surgery on hdd to fix it BUT YOU MUST KNOW WHAT YOUR ARE DOING TO DO IT. Please dont try this.
Here is a link eplaining some this for the spin of death. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbq8vfs1wYY

thank u sir bt my hard drive nt shows in bios ....so is it worth to try this trick..m
 



got another computer to run ? .......... if so, boot that machine up. after boot up plug in the "bad" hard drive and see if Windows will find it. if it does you can now try and pull data off it. drive is probably scrap but this may be the only way to do it............. don't worry about the BIOS not seeing it in the machine it's in now.

after knowing your hard drive's current condition you would need to have a lot of expensive recovery tools as well as high level of training and most importantly: a special environment to run a recovery all by yourself. before all this all you should think about is “what is my/our data worth?” You are the only one that can answer that question.

All of these above requirements are mandatory to successfully recover data. My suggestion is to do a deep research and fine a right data recovery provider.

Have some wired solution... but I can't guarantee that may be it will work. power on the computer. as soon as you hear that tak tak noise just unplug the hard disk power supply and reconnect it. (HARD DISK POWER SUPPLY). and restart computer using alt+ctrl+delete . It works for me. but anyway you can't use you harddisk you have to replace it. http://m.bestofmedia.com/sfp/images/design/usr/smilies/bounce.gif

You may take out the hard drive from computer and connect hard drive to another computer as slave drive or external hard drive, and then see whether it can be accessed. If still have problem, try this method: dead hard drive data recovery

One thing to take note is that you should not use the hard drive for other purpose before you get back all data on the hard drive. If hard drive is not detected even on other computer, you may try device manager
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/ch000833.htm

Most of the time, clicking noise is the signal that the hard drive going to die, so you'd better access data on hard drive and have data backup somewhere as early as possible. Because once the hard drive bricked, it is very hard to recover data there.
