my daughter threw the laptop now i cant boot or get into windows says there is no hard drive but there is no noise in harddrive wat do i do
 
Unfortunately, it sounds like the hard drive was damaged during the incident. Mechanical hard drives cannot take a lot of punishment, i.e. even a 20cm drop can cause failure. Your best bet at this point would be to give Dell a call and they'll recommend a few hard drives that can be installed into the laptop. From there, you should be able to reload windows on it from the restore disks that came with it.

You can simply get a new hard disk - for DELL Latitude D600, new hard drive costs
