    Have you tried testing out a the HD makers diagnostic tools on the problem hard drive? I would try that and let us know what it tells you.

    nope it did not hit the computer on the way down but the cords may have pulled on it. how do u do diagnostic tools thing? sorry, im not very good with computers so u might need to explain some stuff.

    If it's pulled on the cables and jerked the PC, have you opened it up and checked if anythings come loose?

    Excellent suggestion. :thumbsup:

    If the monitor data cable yanked the video card (or anything else) loose that would do it.
