You could try checking the manufacturer's site for diagnostic tools.

I once had a hard drive clunk-clicking
Strange noises, weird sounds and tick-ticking
I thought I would wait
And procrastinate...
But now all my data is missing
--------------
dd, a dump, a data dump
read a line from standard in
$USER, the name I call my self
make - a long long time to run
.so a library that is shared
.ko it's not the same as .so
tee, a redirect with in and out
and brings us back to dd d d d

If you're running *buntu Karmic, Palimpsest has a nifty disk test feature that includes S.M.A.R.T querying.

hmm that pallimpsest has been causing a lot of heartache in karmic, it's been reading false positives on hard disk failures
