Have I broken my Hard Drive?

Hello!
I am new to computers and I've built a budget gaming computer to start off, not too amazing but not by any means bad. Now I was given a "cracked" Windows 7 Ultimate OS disk by a friend but he warned me that if I install it without the crack, don't turn it off otherwise it quote "breaks the hard drive" so I put the OS disk in upon starting up the PC and it gave an error message "Reboot and boot from correct media drive or insert correct media and press a key" or something along those lines. I tried opening and then closing the disk drive, cleaning the disk and just patiently waiting a few minutes before I pressed a key and nothing happened so I just turned it off. Oops. Now have I broken my Hard Drive even though my computer didn't detect it as an OS disk anyway or is it ok? Is there a way to check? I did update the BIOS and it still boots up which is good but is there a way to see if the hard drive still works? I know now to get a genuine OS disk and not use these silly cracked discs, I just want to know for peace of mind, also in the BIOS there is no "Boot from CD/DVD" under the Boot tab. Sorry for any spelling/grammar mistakes.

My PC specs just in case it helps in any way:
Motherboard: Asus M5A78L-M/USB3
Graphics Card: MSI GeForce GT630 Nvidia 4GB
CPU: AMD Bulldozer FX-6100 Socket AM3+ 6-Core
RAM: 8GB G-Skill Ripjaws-X Dual Stick Kit
Hard Drive: Western Digital 2TB SATA 6Gbps Internal Hard Drive OEM
Power Supply: Alpine 550W Power Supply

Thank you!
