Bad Hard drive?

Expand Post »

I have a western digital SATA150 160GB. I was installing linux fedora core 4 and it had formatted the hard drive and was installing linux when my niece turned off my computer in the middle of installation. Now Im trying to install windows again and I can partition the hard drive but in the middle of formatting my computer shuts off. Is the hard drive damaged beyond repair? Thanks.
