IBM Travelstar.... DOH!
The dreaded HD clicking... It's pretty much toast. There ARE adapters for the mini IDE plug -> standard IDE. And, you have a good chance of pulling some of your data off. If you don't want to hunt down one of those adapters, you can boot off of a live CD distro of linux, mount the drive and send what data you can across the network ( ASSuming you have another computer to send it to...) It's not TOO difficult to setup, but depending on how bad the HD is, it can be very tedious.
