Help with crashing hard drive?

You could install Ubuntu onto a external HDD and click Properties on the internal one and I'm pretty sure it could run tests on it. My BIOS could also run tests on several components in my computer. Try searching in your BIOS (without changing any settings) and see if there's a hard drive diagnoser before resorting to Ubuntu. If it's dead, I hope your friend made recovery disks or has a recovery partition he can boot from (Should appear on boot-up screen).
