Use the manufacturer's diagnostic tools.

You can either get them from the manufacturer's website (though you may need to jump through a few hoops to locate them), or download the Ultimate Boot CD, which has them included.

In deed, almost all manufacturers have their own HDD diag tool on their website. – r0ca Aug 15 '10 at 20:33

While pricey spinrite is the best diagnostic and recovery tool I have ever used for a hard drive.
