Laptop fell and now has an error code 0xc00000e9, would this be a possible fix?

[yeah]

Basically my laptop is saying that when I dropped it, something inside messed up, my guess is that it's the hard drive, I took apart the laptop and everything was in place including the hard drive, would buying another hard drive and a windows 7 installation cd make it work again? My mom lost the windows 7 installation cd for my laptop, it's a dell Inspiron n5050, so could I just upgrade it with a new hard drive? Also, could someone link me to a place I could buy a 64x bit windows 7 installation cd?

Ermmm..

I would try another HDD, and try to "recover window 7". Note* window 7 Operatin System cost around $100.

So best bet is to put in new HDD to see if your Mother board is carrying a os backup program, that could allow your HDD to self repair OS.

Try installing a SSD in the External slot.
