hardware failure - Computer reset while partitioning specific hard drive, can't boot into Linux or Windows

My friend was partitioning a hard drive and it hung up for such a long time that he reset the computer while it was partitioning. Now, just plugging in the corrupted hard drive doesn't let ANY operating system boot. We've tried putting the hard drive in my computer and it won't let my computer load into Arch Linux or Windows. Arch Linux kernel panics while Windows 8 is stuck on the spinning wheel. When the corrupted hard drive isn't plugged into our computers, our computers function normally. Is there any hope for this 1TB hard drive?
