While both matter store data, human brains don't work like hard disk.

Hard disk store data physically, brains do not store memories into DNA. As for the 'how to fly' theory it is half true, DNAs are coded through millions of evolution to make these 'instinct' work, just like how DNA code instruct your brain to make your heart beat, but you can't stop your heart just by thinking about it. Breathing is another example, you can never voluntarily hold your breath till you suffocate, at least nobody tried that and succeed so far

Human brains are more like one really high capacity ram, you unplug the power, all the memories inside are gone.
