Only suggestion I have other than backups is keep all important data on another drive and not (C) the boot drive. even an external HD tp keep another copy of documents, files, folders, pictures, etc.

It'll depend on what is actually wrong with the drive.
IF it is something physical (clicking or the associated drive electronics board prevents any system from booting) then you will likely need to send it off to a professional company who specializes in that type of thing and that is likely going to be an expensive proposition.

There are a number of software products that may help if the issue is a soft problem.
One that I've personally used with some success is...

Data Recovery Software Products - Runtime Software Products

It's not free, but they have a free trial which will provide some indication as to your likelihood of any potential success.

Of course you will need to attach the problem drive to an actual working computer so it is no longer your primary boot device.
