Hard Drive Dead – HELP!

Locked

by anonymous1357 · about 14 years ago

I have a toshiba m105-3401 laptop and the other day i left my computer on overnight. I woke up to a bunch of clicking noises (not very loud, but enough to make you wonder). I moved the mouse and saw a blank windows xp desktop screen. I shut down the computer by holding the power button. I then tried to power back up but I just got a bunch of clicking. The hard drive is not recognized by the bios anymore. Is there anything i can do besides send this off to an expensive data recovery center.
