The clicking you are hearing is a really bad sign. Inside your hard drive is a similar setup to a Vinyl record turntable, but much smaller and with much more precision. The arm that holds the "needle" is either damaged or out of calibration or alignment and is not going where it's supposed to go. Each click is potentially damaging it further. It is unlikely that other software is going to allow you to read it, since you don't have a software problem you have a hardware malfunction, so unless its being caused by software AND the current damage is not too severe, software isn't going to fix it.

It's like your car is broken down and you think a different driver might be able to get it to run.
