Seeing the age of that disk, there is a good change its dead, and i wouldn't trust it, but give crystal disk info a shot.

 

Also try replugging in all the cables and using a different sata port.

Thats seems fine, but its a bit older, Id try different ports and cables then.

 

But why are you messing that that old hdd?

I was going to use it as a linux drive. both of my harddrives are relatively old, but both work perfectly

Then see if the drives shows up to the linux installer, no reason to touch it in windows.
