[QUOTE="Futch, post: 788173, member: 71951"] It seems like you have definitely ruined the optical drive or the connection was messed with during the fall. If the windows partition works flawlessly as you say then the hard drive and major components of your computer could be alright. Some of the data on the Mac side of the hard drive partition could have been corrupted or damaged in the fall and the windows side is ok, but because you don't have a working cd/dvd drive you cannot reload the operating system. I would take it to the apple store and have them look at it, but you could be in fairly good shape if the only thing ruined was the optical drive and some corrupted data. [/QUOTE]
