Hello ladyred 1221;

That sounds most like your hard disk has failed due to damage in the drop.

You can build yourself a free bootable Rescue CD/DVD if you don't have some other bootable CD/DVD.

If only the HDD is the problem (and it sounds like it since you can boot the Recovery CD) you should be able to boot a Rescue CD.
It's from an Anti-virus company but it does have other tools/utilities you can use to check the HDD if it's still working.

If you're very lucky it might only be that the HDD connectors have come loose. You can check that before deciding to try a HDD replacement.
