+1 ^ sounds like a drive issue. Clicking is not good at all, it almost always means you need some special work to get the data out of it if you don't have backups. Try to take it out and put it into an external drive enclosure, see if it works that way. If not, you would need to take it to a drive repair place and those are not cheap.
There are rare cases where putting the drive in the freezer for several hours wrapped in a paper towel to keep it dryer makes the drive work for a bit, maybe long enough to get data out, but that has a chance of making recovery harder as well. I've been able to shock a drive here and there to life by dropping it flat on a table from a few inches also, that has about as much chance or working as the freezer. Both things basically shift the hardware just enough to maybe free up a stuck part, but that is very rare when it works. Up to you what you want to try, self repair of hard drives is very risky if you will try to get the data back by having a pro do it.
