    I have a 500 gig Western Dig SATA drive that I am trying to pull the data off of. The issue is my computer wont recognize it. The drive spins up but theres nothing in disk management. Also the drive has the dreaded clicking noise. Is there any method I can use to pull the data off of it still?

    Thanks for your time.

    Highly unlikely. RMA the drive and suffer the lost data, or pay a data recovery firm $300 (or £350 in the UK, yes it's a lot more here)
