Malware Help "third hands"; D.D.S. included

Would this help at all with actually getting it running again on this hard drive? He wasn't concerned really with any of the data/files/pictures/etc on it, because he already had another laptop and simply wanted to get this one back to a usable state (without having the necessary discs to do a reformat). So I'm not worried about any data, just getting the laptop to a functioning state.

Is there any cleaning or operations that could come of hooking it up as a slave that would possibly allow me to put it back into the laptop and get it back up?
 
Hi,

Sorry, I didn't have a clue it was a laptop hard drive there. That makes it more difficult to get the drive slaved. If drive contents getting deleted doesn't matter then reformat would be recommended (even that won't help if hard drive is broken). That of course requires operating system media though.
