Ok, well either the drop has broken something on the motherboard, or, the hard drive, has been jolted so hard the heads have crashed into the platter, and killed the HDD. I would almost guarantee, that is whats wrong. Try taking out your HDD, hook it up to a USB, to HDD "Dongle" and see if your HDD responds, If it doesn't then you need a new HDD, if it does, the fault, is within the laptops circuits.

hi
yes it may be related to bios setting . Just enter your bios in the laptop (F2)
and for HD change the SATA to ATA or vice-versa. SAVE and retry boot.

(it can also be AHCI to ATA or ATA to AHCI.)

I am having trouble finding a replacement battery for my Acer aspire 5515 laptop. Is there another model # I should be looking under?

You should use the P/N as printed on the batteries and also the voltage and current rating (higher current rating will give you longer run time)

Here is a site that will show you how to make a rescue disk (recovery console), for all windows OS's. Also has link to a very good free ISO burner. Burn to cd instead of dvd if possible.
