Is a hard disk rewritable and able to be used again and again?
Yes, most hard drives are rewritable. SSD drives can be rewritten to less times than conventional drives, but that is still many times. The OS deletes from hard drives and makes new files all the time. If the hard disk was not reusable, then everyone would be buying them more often, and they would be more easily accessible from the outside of the computer.

What is a fileserver?
A fileserver is a computer that operates as a server (i.e. runs server software such as MS Windows Server 2003) used to archive files (documents, photos, etc.) in a central location rather than being saved on a local desktop computer. This allows the files to be backed up on a regular basis as well as allowing for the files to be shared if desired. Novell Netware was one of the original Server Operating Systems (and/or Network Operating Systems) that implemented the concept of "fileserver". Side-note: In corporate networks individual employee desktop computers are often setup with a "network" drive. This disk space is sometimes allocated onto a fileserver. During the early days of local area networks (LAN) hard-drives were expensive; in order to keep costs down, servers were used that would have large, very fast hard-drives where anyone could store files thus reducing the cost of putting large hard-drives on every desktop or workstation.
