It might be running Checkdisk to see if it can repair any damage to the hard disk but the problem is, physical damage is harder for software to repair than just a few bad sectors. Try restarting and tapping the Function 8 key before Windows loads and then select Safe Mode. Windows may then be able to start with fewer devices running. Your hard disk is anything but hard - it's quite possible to break it just by squeezing the laptop in the wrong place.
