This is what I've done in the past:
Seal the HD inside a plastic bag in the driest environment you can find.

into my old history files and dig up the names of 3 differing
It's out of a Mac book pro. Apple swapped in a new drive, but the genius bar
was not so inclined to pursue data recovery. If you don't mind, the list of
data recovery places would be appreciated.

Hi all,
I have a Western Digital 2.5 hard drive that spins up, but makes a
terrible clicking sound at approximately 1Hz. The clicking is bad enough
