I have this which can clone up to 12 million sectors and then will not read after that ... any help will be appreciated.

sorry was in hurry and missed details.. this is maxtor 6L250R0 ide hard drive, able to clone 12million sectors from the back end and then it does not clone further. did everything possible to fix not availo.. any help will be apprecioated

At this point, we know too less information to judge about the recoverabilitly.
But i am deeply in this brand/family actually, and based on my experinence, if this drive clicking now, the road between the 100% and 0% recoverable state is only SOME MINUTE!
So, first of all poweroff the drive, set to "safest mode" (remove all jumpers, and cables), and write to as more information, and wait for clever answers.
