For windows there are alot of software to check the health of the HDD's.
Just google it.

For Linux, for instance:

to check weather SMART tools are installed and SMART commands work use this command


smartctl -i /dev/sda1 or sda2 etc...

In ubuntu we can install tools by

sudo apt-get install smartmontools
for checking health use

smartctl -a /dev/hda
