If it makes mechanical sounds, sounds like a head crash . . .
Best is to buy new drive, and recover data from your backups . . . . . You DO HAVE backups I assume !

Hi. This sounds bad. First off, get a new drive and reinstall your OS on it. You will next try to recover the data still on the failed drive. Try to open it in Windows Explorer. If this does not work then one drastic trick is to wrap the drive in plastic and freeze it for a few hours. Take it out and let it come back to room temp. Reconnect and see if you can copy files. If not... sorry.

You could try removing it and reseating it. Remember to remove your battery first if this is a laptop.
If that does not work - get a new one.
