How to tell if hard drive is broken?

I bought it brand new and I cant install a partition for win 10. I cant plug it into another computer atm. Is there any way to tell if its broken or not other than plugging it into a computer? I hear it spinning just fine with no clicks or anything that sounds weird. Is there any way I can run some sort of scan without having an OS installed on the computer to tell if its broken or not?

What error do you get when you try to install windows

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 10 and Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

How many watts do I need? ATX 3.0 & PCIe 5.0 spec, PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Could try connecting it to another Sata Port on the mainboard/ with another Sata Cable. 
Dou you get to the screen where you can format the drive? Maybe this works too. 

already tried this. Its still the same result. I think its just the mobo thats the issue. I think im just gonna return it and buy a board thats not from gigabyte because idk anymore
