On last Wednesday, Thursday laptop would become very slow and unresponsive from time to time and changing laptop position, angle would make it get to normal. I started Windows de-fragmentation process but it would not complete [only 40%] within 2 days. Eventually I enabled Windows file system scan and check on boot but it only completed 3 or 4 phases and stopped at 10% of 4th or 5h one after 4 hours with very loud spinning noise [I do NOT think it was squeaking or clicking]. After power down and reboot it would start loud spinning and after another reboot drive become almost silent with some detectable sounds during first minute. It has not changed since when I tried to boot it once every 24 hours.

• I am so grateful that you were able to recover the data from the drive.
  Thanks a lot,

Freezing the computer; drive is timing out during reading, and crashes the system; no trauma, just stopped working properly.
