The bad news is that my laptop suffered a nice drop that broke a few more things cosmetically.
The good news is that I'm currently using said laptop to make this post, so I know it ain't all that broke. Hopefully, the harddrive continues to run even though the machine fell in a position where the hard disk platter was perpendicular to the ground. This shouldn't *break* the disk, since it successfully woke up from sleep (actually, the fall made it "wake up"). I promptly backed up the Lost Legends II project just in case the disk suffered latent damage.
But, now I worry. Do hard disk failures happen immediately AFTER such abuse or do those things tend to crop up later?

I don't know, but you should back up just in case.

ALWAYS back up, no matter what. Sooner or later you'll thank yourself, trust me. I know I did. ;)

if they happen it like within a good like 36 hours of hard drive run time (basically u thrash the hd for alomost 2 days) if it works after that u should be good
( i dont mean like just browseing the web i mean like intese stuff like gaming and lots of saving and reading stuff)
that said and done if it doesnt break by the end of next week u should be fine)
