Just one thing to add. Tyson's solution is good enough to find out whether or not the drive is still intact. Get some SATA cables and mount the drive alongside of the drive with your system on it, making sure that the drive you want to test is mounted as a slave drive, and not the primary one.

This is as simple as changing the boot order to ensure that the drive with your Windows partition loads first; you might not need to do anything like this, but it's for safety's sake.
