hi my hard drive has stopped working basicly the heads are clicking from side to side and not reading is there any way i can retrieve the data without realy expensive data recovery specialists?

Basically you have a click of death. Something you may try, that has worked for me once, is place the drive in a ziplock back and put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. Pull it out and immediatly connect the drive and transfer your data. This is not a sure method but may work.
