Diagnosing drive failure

[PleaseWork]

Problem: One of my system hard drives will not mount, and I see "no device" under its device slot. 

 

Question: What command(s) should I run to identify whether this is a minor issue that can be fixed with a resierfsck or its a complete drive failure?

 

Symptoms:

• On boot, the server makes a series of short beeps 10 or so times over 30 seconds
• The drive in question is /dev/sdc and is older (so reiserfs I think, but not sure)
• In syslog I see a series of repeated messages similar to this:

May 16 09:36:17 Tower kernel: ata2.00: status: { DRDY ERR }
May 16 09:36:17 Tower kernel: ata2.00: error: { ABRT }

Try using a different SATA port and cable, if still not detected post your diagnostics.

Syslog just show same error repeating, can't see the beginning of the problem, powerdown, connect that disk to different SATA port and replace/swap cables, power back up, start the array and grab and post new diags.
