Basically this damn hard drive from my personal laptop is making some weird clicking noises. System won't boot up as a result and now I am facing with the daunting task of trying to recover all of my family photos and personal files. Do any of you guys know how much, on average, a job like this would cost and if you would recommend any specific sites/software that I can buy? Thanks!!!

I don't know but these guys will give you a free estimate and will only charge you for the data that they can actually recover (they are also one of the very best in the business), http://www.ontrack.com/

It's quite expensive. Can you take the hard drive and put it into another computer as a slave and copy everything you can off of it that way? They do sell hard drive conversion kits to make laptop drives fit into desktops. The cost to recover a 100 gb cost me 500 bucks 2 years ago.
