My netbook hangs during boot up (upon turning the power on) and then it produces a clikcing sound. A technical friend of mine said it may have something to do with its hard drive. My question is, given the worst-case-scenario that my hard drive is at fault, how can i possibly access my important files on it? Are there ways? Thank you.
Ist dies eine gute Frage?

The clicking is usually the hard drive search head going back and forth, indicative of a failing hard drive. Back up your data ASAP. If you can, get an external enclosure or a universal adapter to put your old drive in, install a new hard drive. Install some recovery software and see if you can recover your data.

If your display stays dark, it may also be some short-circuit. (However, harddisk is more likely) My son caused short-circuit to my Samsung NB28 by connecting phone charger to laptop LAN-port. After that my computer just clicked and lights went on and off after starting. Taking battery out, didn't help either.
I opened the laptop and connected the two tin-spots on circuit board, which had small text RST (means reset). After that my laptop started to boot again without clicking sound.

Boot problems like those mentioned were traced to a failed cd rom drive. Replacing the drive solved the boot problems. However, simply disconnecting the ROM drive did not.
