Have you thought of using a testdisk program or some other recovery software to get that back? Sucks having to lose valuable data like that.
the case was dented and it started making weird noises and not recognizing any of the data. I opened it up and banged the dent out but it didnt do much
I havent tried anything else...I dont have an external enclosure or anything I would LOVE to get my data back
How did the case get dented? When you had the HDD open, did you notice any scratches on the disc itself? You may have just a jammed read head... If you don't see any scratches on the disc, try holding the HDD a couple feet above a phone book, and then drop it onto the phone book so that it lands flat. It might jar it loose and get your HDD limping for long enough to get some of your data off of it.
