I can't help with the data recovery, sorry. However I would consider looking at the cause: if the drive is clicking it's probably that the read/write is striking the platter.  This can be caused by heat: is the machine that this drive was in ventilated and cooled enough for it?  Drives get hot (

Wow, Erika - I'm sorry to hear about it.  The price they're charging actually sounds pretty fair.  No lecture here about backing up, either, but in your next machine (or this one if it's supported), look into running a RAID for your storage.  In fact, you could just install a network-accessible
