[Maritime Q-Scout]

by acting up it's not being picked up by my computer, and it's making a clicking noise.

It's under warranty which is fine

HOWEVER

I have a few files that I really don't want to lose (resume, job applications)

I have a number of mp3's that it'd be a pain in the butt to get back

I have over 10,000 pictures that are essentially irreplaceable that I don't want to lose

I have a few movies that I really couldn't care about if I lost them or not.


SO

Is there anything I can do to get the files on the hard drive off? Could a tech shop open it up and save the files? A quick google search said that putting it in the freezer would reset the platters (seems kinda sketchy). Have I lost everything?

The big kick in the nuts if the fact I put everything on there so I wouldn't lose it, as my desktop hard drive is 5 years old and I don't know how much longer until it kicks the bucket, so I transfered everything to the external that's only 2-3 months or and it dies!
