The drop probably jarred quite a few things in the comp The spring may have fell of the door latch, capacitors, memory chips, bios chips may have gotten loose as well. Possibly power supply has broke if it is not getting any power to unit. You could always just buy a new motherboard since you have all the other parts you need for it.. Cheaper than buying another whole unit.

the solution is quite easy, carry it back as long as the machine is still under warranty

You can't just put the windows cd in your cd rom drive. If your going to change your boot order (to cd), then you HAVE TO use a BOOTABLE cd. That means a bootup disk with all the correct bootable files for WINXP. Same with a floppy. Change your boot order to a floppy....and in order to bootup windows, you MUST HAVE the bootable files ON THE floppy. In your case...the cd. The windows xp does not have the bootable files since it is only used for install and reinstall.

Create a bootable CD or floppy (((from someone elses WINXP pc or laptop))). There is a feature that allows you to do that. Then when you boot to cd it will start windows and give you options.

Make A boot disk from a working Windows 98 machine. After you make the boot disk, copy the MS 'debug' to the floppy. 
Boot the laptop from the floppy.(this might not be possible due to a setting in the BIOS.) 
Search online for MS Debug +clear CMOS 
Run the Debug program and type in the commands exactly as written. 
reboot, and you should be able to go into the BIOS by holding F2.  
That's it. 
If you can't boot from the floppy, remove the hard drive. the computer should boot from the floppy, no matter what the BIOS setting is.

Here's a link to CF-27 manuals. There are several depending on the operating system.

Sounds like a virus you had on your system was linked onto one of your important system files. If you have a system rescue disk, probably included with the system you bought if you bought it new, use it. It won't delete any of your files, but it will restore any missing system files that windows needs to start.
If that doesn't work, you will probably have to format the disk and start over.

For future reference, always make a backup of your system before deleting files with viruses in them. Most anti virus programs will tell you to do this as well.
