physical damage to sata disk drive from dropping

Hello all, The drive got dropped when moving houses and so made a ticking sound. I have taken the disk out of the drive and put it into a functioning drive. Can you advise now which software is suitable for recovering as much as I can from the disk?

If the disk isn't recognized by your system, then no way. If yes, you need to create an image of the disk and work with the image. But a visit to a data recovery professional would be the best option.
