Hi there Elex,

It seems that your HDD is failing due to a bad sectors related issue. It is also possible that this was not caused by the bump.
Do you have data stored on it? In case you do, you can use some data recovery tool: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/id-1644496/lost-data-recovery.html
In case this does not work, you can try to boot up Ubuntu and see whether you will be able to access the HDD: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/forum/267999-32-recover-data-mode

I doubt that the HDD could be repaired. It needs to be replaced.
