hey guys..
i have a SZ n a couple of days ago, i dropped it from my table. not a very big fall, but a fall anyway. immediately after turning it back on, i noticed the computer was slow.. it started to hang quite often, especially when i used google chrome (one of the only programs running on my C partition). movies which i had on my C partition also didnt open.. then i found it wouldnt resume after hibernating (i use win XP SP2).. unfortunately today, i get a Stop error on startup: Unmountable Boot Volume. same problem in safe mode too.
after a bit of research, i found that i could use XP Recovery console n run chkdsk, or open up my laptop n check the connections. im waiting to use a friends XP CD coz i dont have one myself, and im also waiting on a friend with a bit more experience to open up the laptop, coz im not much of a hardware expert. but is there anything else i could try? i also reset my BIOS as i read that could help, but it didnt. could the HDD be physically damaged? thankfully i made a backup on my external drive before this happened. any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks guys
