Windows 7 HDD Not Working

[Clouty Boi]

Hi, i have an old laptop harddrive thats running windows 7 home premium. I dont know if theres an issue with the harddrive or the OS, but one day i went to power on my laptop and it just boot looped. The windows loading would freeze right after starting and show a black screen, then reboot. I am trying to figure out how to fix this problem because o have some very important files on the harddrive. If someone could help me, that would be great. thanks in advanced. there is a video of it trying to boot attached.

Do you still have the Windows 7 install or recovery CD that came originally with the computer containing this hard drive?

i sadly do not because the laptop was gifted to me. And i did try using a windows recovery disk from my friend but it didnt seem to want to work

it seems like an OS issue, is there anything important on it? and will the BIOS boot from anything else?

ok what id reccomend is wiping the drive, try getting a x64 media onto the drive and try resinstalling, if it fails the drive might have past its life, what hdd is it anyway?
