You can't fix your drive without having a clean room as any dust allowed in will kill the drives heads.
At this point its best to just replace the drive.

If it clicks 8 times on turn, it doesn't mean the spindle is stuck. It means there is an area of hard drive frequently accessed on a start up that it is having problems reading. 8 clicks or so means its retrying to re-read.
It is strongly suggested you replace the hard drive. It may even be a good excuse to get one those new fangled SSD drives.

Hi @marko1 ,
Look up your exact laptop specs to determine what type of HDD connection it has. You may only have the one option
Can you get the model number from device manager? I can tell from that.

Spinning disks are typically 2.5" using a SATA connection. Without knowing what your system is we can't guide you any further.
