Disk read errors dell poweredge 1950

I installed vsphere esxi and did a P2V on a sbs server

When playing the vm it continued in the windows booting screen for some time , it eventually came to a window disk check. But I cancelled it by pressing any key

Then I heard funny noises from the hard drive , vm server kept rebooting with a bsod and gave an unmountable error and again bsod. I used a windiws disk in recovery mode and did a check disks which completed but when I did a dir command at the prompt it gave an enumeration error.

I believe the hard disk is faulty , how can I check if it really is the hard drive ? Should I run some sort of disk cracking tool ? If do which one ?  The one in the dell poweredge 1950 bios?

It has. SAS 5/i drive controller which is non-raid. I do not recall seeing any lights.
That is the same file as I gave you above, and, yes, they are bootable.
