I received a new laptop case for christmas and was testing out the shock absorption, I ignorantly placed the laptop computer while it was on inside the case and gave it a little shake and knock. Next thing I know the computer no longer recognizes the hard drive. Upon bootup it reads "Primary hard drive not found". Even the cmos and bios does not recognize the drive after I re-seated it and everything. Also to note is that the hard drive makes a regular ticking noise upon bootup. It seems as this is a common problem.

I have a Hitachi Travelstar 30GB Hard drive for my Dell 700m. My question is if there anyway to retrieve the information still on my hard drive (at what cost and how do i do so ??) or I am doomed to just let warranty replace my hard drive and lose all my valuable information ??
