Recovering dead hard drives

I had my thinkpad hard drive in a hard drive enclosure and on the way into work one morning dropped it, oops, kinda rattles now when powered on.

I started looking to see if I could repair it, after opening it up (no I don't have a clean room) and finding that the arm was the rattling bit. So the data is probably still on there but I dunno how to get it off.

Anyway, here are some links if you are going through something similar
