Fix partition order killed my hard drive (twice)

Hello,

Is it possible that fdisk could damage / kill a hard drive after using the "Fix partition order" command? It seems that that is exactly what happened to me two times already, with two different hard drives. 

First time I thought that it was my hard drive's fault as it was pretty old and cheap, So I bought a new not-so-cheap one and was quite happy with until today, when I used that evil command again!

Both of HDDs seem unrecoverable. When either is plugged BIOS gets stuck at initial screen (can't even enter setup). Using a USB adapter didn't help either... I'm not an expert in hard drives, but could it be the result of a corrupted / bad sector in the place where the partition table is stored? 		 	   		  --
