I have an older 8 gig Maxtor hard drive which is recognized in the bios but gets the "harddrive click of death sound" at startup. Fdisk doesn't recognize it or any of the data recovery software programs that I have tried using on it. The drive spins up okay and the controller board doesn't seem to get hot. Just wondering if there is anything else I can try to access some of the info on it. Nothing critical here, so anything out of my pocket isn't going to happen.

Thanks.
