List of Any Viruses that Cause Permanent-Physical Damage to Storage Devices

Im sure within Symantec and elsewhere theres an index of what Viruses do What.  Its a huge chore to read a 500 word synopsis on each virus. The only viruses Im aware of only make data unreadable but dont do any physical damage and allow you to simply repartition/reformat the hard drive.

Currently, Im trying to determine if the physical problem Im having with my hard drive was induced by viruses found on it, or is just coincidental.  Surely theres a way to Query the list of known viruses for "Causes Hard Drive Crashes." Without providing you the names of the viruses found, how can I go about looking at the list of any and all viruses causing "permanent physical failure" of the hard drive?

Thanks
