your harddrive was fine. You were just virused by a self destructing worm that has been passing through dsl services. Verizon has had customers with a similar situation. Even my cousins HP was hit by it. you can still use it as a slave. just set it as slave and let it load. windows will notice the corrupted parts and truncate/repair the missing or destroyed files and it will work as good as new. I hope they partitioned your harddrive for you, having 80 large on an older computer will slow it down heavily since it will put stress on your processor.
