When you dropped your latop especially when it was still on, this is a huge... Luckily it was only your drive, see the harddrive spins at a very very high RPM, and it able to absorb some shock, but dropping it, could of went beyond the shock boundary and caused one of the cylinder head or the needle to be loose or broken or could even be scratched. In this case, you would have a bad hard drive and need to replace it. See if you can still save some files, that you mights want.... If not, your in a tought situation and might need to send the hard drive to a specialist to see if they can recover the files... It would be a heft fee.... if not, buy a need harddrive.
The loop on your Toshiba Satellite laptop refers to the computer not booting properly.
During the loop, the computer will try to boot the Windows operating system and keep restarting over and over again.
This is not a hardware issue with your Toshiba Satellite A106.

You can fix this by running a repair tool that comes with your Windows operating system.
