Need help extracting data from a WD800 Western Digital harddrive.
I have this problem with an old Hard drive I used to have. It has EVERYTHING on it for about a 5 year period. I was an idiot and didnt back anything up, so I'm trying to get what I can off of it. Its a Western Digital WD800 80 GB harddrive. The SN is WCAM92625640. The drive powers up but doesn't load at all. It makes a clicking noise at times. Is there any way to extract the data from it? The drive can't be accessed by just hooking it up and trying to boot it, but I wonder if there is another way? If you have knowledge about this and are willing to help, that'd be great! Thanks!
NOTE: If I'm posting this in the wrong subreddit, please direct me to the right one. Thanks!
