Well. How is it corrupted?
If it fails at SMART or reports a crapton of bad sectors..Then there's not much you can do. There's recovery programs, but that's not the case.
If it's unmountable(physically or fatally damaged), there's absolutely nothing you can do.
Reformatting a bad sectored hard drive is pointless, as it will fail again in the long run.

Download the boot disk, I'd use the dos version.
burn it, shut down, install drives, boot from the cdrom with the boot disk and run diagnostics on the drives in question and try fixing it with the various disk utilities they have, if you cant fix it with a program on this disc, it cant be fixed.
