Depends on the definition of crashed. If its the official version, no.
The read head has CRASHED into the platters. (Hence the name). If it is
the more commonly used version, the software has died on it, the its
okay, and can be formated. Check the drive, if there are many Bad
sectors, it has truely crashed and needs to be destroyed.
