IT SupportOur IT support guy has been in the job since 1979, and never misses an opportunity to pick up a mouse and say "Hello computer" into it, Star Trek-style. Tell us your tales from the IT support cupboard, either from within or without.

SpinriteWorth a try, especially if there is sector read issues, it doesnt solve any mechanical errors but you said there was no clicking.
If its in an external enclosure, then remove it and link it direct to the motherboard, with what ever connector you have. Get Spinrite (www.grc.com) or wherever, and burn the ISO off from that software, boot your machine from the ISO and get it to run a level 2 scan. If there is surface errors stopping you accessing the files then this should solve it. Once finished, re mount in your enclosure and reboot machine then see if it you have access again.
