Any ideas regarding data recovery from a drive I can't see to access.

I know the drive can be sent off to be recovered but short of that, does anyone have any ideas, tips, tricks, secrets, etc as to how I might recover data from a drive that cant be accessed. The OS is aware when the drive is plugged in but cant access it. I'm sure the problem is physical. I can hear a repetitive click when the drive first starts spinning up. This is a WD 750GB external drive. Thanks so much for your input!
