So a few months back I corrupted my laptop HDD(computer repairman told me I force shut down my laptop too many times), now I'm using a brand new hard disk in my laptop(repairman helped me back up windows into it for free, nice!).
So I heard that you CAN use a laptop hdd in a desktop with a special cable and stuff*, and I was wondering if I can use a corrupted one in it. So here's my question, by corrupted, does that mean my hard disk is completely useless already or does that mean it can be fixed with a clean format?
*Whether you can use a laptop hdd in a desktop or not is not the point here, I'm just asking if I can repair my corrupted hdd by formatting it or not.
