Borken Hard drive
Recently I dropped my Dell Inspiron 1545 and the hard drive broke. I have replaced the hard drive with a new one but I don't know how to get my laptop to work again. How can I fix it?

Hi,
There is a possibility that some component inside the system broke when you dropped it. I will provide you the possible options depending on the system's warranty. Alternatively, you can refer to the system's service manual: http://dell.to/RqR5kY
I have added you as a friend. Please accept my friend request by clicking on my name highlighted in blue and then click on “Friends” tab at the top and then click on “Request to Review” and finally click on “Accept” button.
I am sending you a private message as well. Click on “Inbox” to respond to the message and provide system’s Service Tag and contact details so I may access your system records and check for further course of action. You could also click on Start Conversation to send a private message.
Keep me posted. Please reply if you have any questions.

When I turn on the laptop it says "No boot sector on internal hard drive", "No bootable devices"
