Can data be restored?
I left my PC running overnight(was making a conversion) and woke up and hard drive was busted.

try putting the drive in external HD enclosure, then hook it up via USB. ( I used WUBI installer for Ubuntu V12.04, which you can install within windows ( hence WUBI ) and then once youre in Ubuntu, usually it can SEE
that HD, and potentially restore files from it to another HD )
Good Luck, cause from the sounds of it, the HD controller went & the noise is coming from the read heads hitting the centre spindle & resetting back to rest area. If it goes none stop, then it MAY not be possible to recover any data. There is also a website that sells new controller boards but you need an exact match to your Drive, when it was made & firmware version of onboard bios. Then it can be swapped out & maybe recover data from the damaged HD, but it still may not be recoverable. I have 2 HD that have done the exact same thing, I've lost ALL Original work for Conversions that I had saved templates for, some of which I may never recreate.
