      Clicking sounds from a a hard disk is not good. It usually means the head seek mechanism is broken and the head is having difficulty in findings its place on the disk.

      It is possible to recover the data by sending it to a data recovery specialist but that can be horrendously expensive, running into many thousands of dollars.
