[carlo1231]

Hi

I dropped my harddrive and it has started to click and wont boot up at all. its a seagate barracuda 7200. 10 3.5" 320gb, I have tried it in a pc and in an external caddy. Can anyone recommend a way of fixing the drive as all my kids photos are on it. Thanks for any replies.

Without you having relevant experience (which I guess you do not have, since you are posting here), there is a 99% probability that you will not be able to successfully repair any of the possible internal mechanical damage yourself, which that drop can cause (bearing / motor / heads / platter damage etc.).

Either investigate using a DR company or accept the loss.
