1. Wtf? A physical CD inside a hard drive? No, unless you're talking about making a CD image and running it from your HDD.
2. I highly doubt it.
good now i can tell the computer dude who fixed my aunts computer he has no idea what he's talking about.
Emm yeah dude there's a disc inside a hard drive... it's not a CD, but its a disc and laser writes the data onto it.
As for blowing the hard drive, it is of course possible to damage it from a surg

It may be possible to corrupt data if its an external HDD and in use when it is turned off by the plug, but it's unlikely
The computer technician obviously knows what he is talking about, he must have assumed you were computer illiterate and tried to explain things basically.
As for him being a fag, I have no idea...
no an actual CD like one that you can burn, also it was not external and he did not explain it to me.
Well in that case its a Hard Disc inside the Hard Drive, not a Compact Disc, and it is still very possible to blow an internal Hard Drive with a surge.
Buy Surge protectors Kids!
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
ITS A COMPACT DISC!
Lmao. Unless he was talking about a CD getting stuck inside the CD drive? Bc even when the tray is empty there could be a disc stuck in there.
And of course a power surge could kill a HDD, but turning a computer on and off a lot isn't going to cause a surge.
