So my friend accidentally stepped on her laptop the other day. Since then, when you boot it up it just gets to the HP boot options screen, sit for a few seconds, and restart in an infinite loop. The HDD is making a sort of clicking sound. I figure its pretty much done for, but is there any way possible of recovering data from the HDD? She's got no problem buying a replacement, but her biggest concern is obviously all her stuff. Thanks for any help, guys.
