I have 2 WD Mybook 250GB External drives. They are formatted in Linux. I am not using them from long time.
When I connected them to my laptop today, I am able to see 1 drive, I formatted it in windows.
The second one I am unable to see it, the power is OK because I can see the light, I here the sounds like the HDD is working but I am not sure, how can I check weather the HDD is OK or not.
Please help me out.

If you have a Windows pc, you can download our DLG Diagnostics utility to check the drive’s SMART status and the surface of the platters for damage/bad sectors. You can also run Windows error checking to make sure that the partition isn’t damaged or corrupted.
