How to data recover a external hard drive.

HI Guys

I have an external hard drive that is damage/working. It was written by a pc and now it can not be read by a pc. 90 percent of the file can be recover by plugging into an mac and copy out. the last 10 percent can not be read. Also the hard does not make any clicking sounds. any way to repair the files on the damage external drive? Any suggestion would be much appreciated.

best regards
