I have had multiple drives go bad on me and always recovered the data without a problem without voiding any warranties. If the drive spins up you should get a cable which converts it to a standard ide drive and then slave it on a good system (the cable costs a few bucks and is totally worth it). Then on that good system try to pull the data over.
If the drive is clicking when you turn it on place it in an air tight ziplock and try to get as much air out as possible. Then place it in the freezer for a day. Then try the first step again.
