Yes, a hard disk that has been infected by ransomware can be safely reused on another computer after formatting. Formatting the hard disk effectively removes all data and software, including the ransomware, making it safe to use again. However, it is crucial to ensure that the formatting process is thorough to eliminate any potential remnants of the ransomware that could still be present on the hard disk.
