Most of the time the drive will just stop with little or no warning. Occasionally though you will a metalic clunking sound which is a sure sign your drive is on the way out. If you run Linux, check the logs and see if you get any hard drive seek or write errors.
Also a neat tip on recovering data from dead hardrives is to place the hardrive in the freezer for an hour than install back into system.
