[olug] Dead drive

I have a 40GB WD HDD that is from a customer's computer (Windoze XP Pro) 
The drive clicks on spin up so the computer wouldn't boot.. I've already 
replaced the drive with a new one.

Know of anyone locally Omaha or Lincoln that does data recovery? I 
realize whiteroom recovery is going to cost $$$$.

If it were my own drive I'd put it in the freezer and try some other 
tricks before I give up as I have Ontrack's Easy Recovery software. I 
don't want to mess up any data that might be recoverable.

Other suggestions??
