I am running Linux-2.4 system, and I am attempting to retrieve hard drive diagnostics information, any that might be available. Is there a way that I can retrieve these hard drive statistics?

You should look into "smartmontools". This package contains two utility programs that can provide advanced warning of disk degradation and failure.

Also note it's free/opensource. (A lot of times I think 1 rep users are spammers, so.. )
