Hard drive disk not found, no bootable devices either

Tweet

Hello there!! I do not know how this exactly works, this is the first time I post a question in a blog like this. I truly hope someone can help me get out of this trouble.Here's the issue: I own a laptop computer, specifically, a Dell Latitude 610,Pentium III which runs Windows XP Pro 2003.Time ago, it dropped accidetally.Since the screen damaged as a result of that, I decided to remove it, afterall, it was a useless accessory.Well, appareantly, everything had gone well.All of a sudden, one day the computer shut off itself. I could read that proverbial message in a blue screen:"Windows has encountered a problem and has to shut down to prevent your...", bla, bla, bla.Ever since, I haven't been able neither to enter Windows anymore nor get out of that black screen that reads"Primary Hard drive disk not found, No bootable devices". I don't know what to do.Based on the info I've picked in the wake of this, I suspect I'm going to have the mother board checked by an specialis, a fact that implies money obviously.Because It's not going to problably worth it, I'd just would like to know about some other alternatives before making a decision. I'd infinitely appreciate any help in that regard.
