I do not want the money, but it does sound like you need a new hard drive. If you dropped the laptop when it was working, then it is almost certain that the hard drive is toast.

Have you contacted the support team from Sony at all to atleast see what they say?

I've cracked the case which holds the screen in place in each corner and even have fuzzy black bits in the corner now.. Butt it still works lol, i've never had no probs with hard drive though.. Contact sony

Open up the HDD bay and make sure it is plugged in first, it may just have come loose.

I hate my VAIO, problem after problem. Anyways, I took mine to the shop I got it from and they sent if off to Sony for me. Although the Blu Ray has been bust since purchase, so its taking some time.
