Hi, It sounds to me that your hard drive was damaged when you dropped your computer. You probably need to replace the hard drive and install a fresh copy of the operating system. If you don't have a disk you can probably get one from Dell for a low cost. I am providing a link on replacing the hard drive. Hope this helps.

I agree with rj713. You most likely damaged the platters in your hard drive when you dropped it. If you can't get data off it that you need, check out SpinRite from Steve Gibson's Gibson Research Company. The link is http://www.grc.com. Once you've recovered the data (if you can), install a new HD in the computer - I recommend an SSD, which has no moving parts - and reinstall your operating system.
