Acer Aspire BSOD

OK the DIL decided to thump her laptop, now Vista Basic will not load.
Unable to boot to OS cannot boot in safe mode. No recovery CD.
I think it may be a HDD failure. Just booted Ubuntu HH from CD, Is ther any program on linux that can trooble shoot a HDD?
BTW I have no error code for the BSOD due to the fact that it flashes up quickly then reboots....

this has chkdsk and other utilities

Thanks BT, its definatley HD failure, when I try to access the drive in linux it comes up with Unable to mount location.
I will check the Uboot CD now see I can't recover anything before it goes back for a replacement.
