Normally when a HDD falls any distance and it is working you will have some or major damage to the platters of the HDD. This is not a simple or easy repair that can be done with software. The drives needs to be opened in a clean room by a professional DR company. I am sorry but normally there is a head problems on the drive after a fall. This can also cause spindle motor to jam and block inside the drive. If you value your data I would stop trying to work on this drive and find a professional in your area or near you to have them take a look at this drive .

Do not open it yourself. You will surely destory the drive and your chances for recovery will be less than if you just leave it alone.

Hope that you can find someone near you to help you out. There are a lot of people on this forum who can do this work for you and if you are interested in some help please ask and someone here will be in contact with you on this one. Good luck on this.
