if the drive is powered up and spinning without clicking etc, there is still a good chance of getting your data off the drive.
in my honest opnion i would try an external caddy, nad some decent recovery software. like ontrack, or easus.
I have a different opinion to Danzil - if you cannot see the drive in the BIOS either the controller board is faulty, or the firmware in the SA is faulty. A caddy won't help.
