data recovery - Hard drive makes clicking noise after being exposed to water


Possible Duplicate:
Hard Disk makes “Click, click, click …” noise on system start. Won't boot



So my apartment building burned down, but my computer was not exposed to direct flame. It is a mini-ITX case with vents on the top, so it was filled with soot and ashes.


The hard drive was located at the bottom of the case and was buried in ashes. The computer may have been subjected to water damage when they were putting out the fire.


After I got my stuff back, I took the computer apart and cleaned it out with canned air and did not touch it for two weeks. Now I can boot the computer from CD fine, but the hard drive keeps making clicking noises.


Anyone have any advice on how I can recover data from the disk?
