I have two corrupt hard disks they are not even detected by the BIOS. Is there any way i can repair them or can i make some good use of the hardware??

Have you tried the usual options ?

1.Checking them by using alternate IDE Cables to connect them to the MoBo
2.Look out for bent/broken pins on the Hard Disk Address Bus Part
3.Power Pins getting short or earthed
4.MoBo pins broken/bent

Revert back once you have checked them
