The clicking sound is your destroyed harddrive. You will not be able to get anything back from it. I would take it out, see what size it is and rpm.. then buy another that matches and is 2.5 inch. After this reinstalling your OS, your computer should be fine after that

or maybe replace it with an ssd if possible, which is no more susceptible to drop damage than the rest of the components that were not affected.
