Im pretty sure its dead

hey guys and girls. Last week my hardrive (WD 80 gig) just randomly died. I reinstalled windows and all. During this week, I got a ton of errors, and lockups. I know it wasnt my overclock, because I never changed anything. I noticed it kept on getting slower and slower. Today, it got unbearably slow. I coldnt open anything up, and so I finally rebooted, and it never did anything. BIOS reconized it, but it ever did anything. I put my other harddrive in, and I got in there just fine. So I am assuming that it died. BTW, I never did the disnogstics, and couldnt get it to work when I tried it. So, is the drive dead?

I put another harddrive on the same motherboard, and I had the same problem... But the thing is, I think the harddrive that I tested could also be dead, and I dont have anything to test both of the harddrives. So, could it be the motherboard (doubt it) or hardrive? I dont want to spend my money on one thing, and it actually being the other.
