I have a white little Imac and yesterday it took a hard fall. Now when I turn it on all it shows is a white screen and makes this clicking noise. What Should I do?
Update: I put in my Mac os x installation disk and it took me to the installation process. if I do this will all my previous data be erased?

Maybe the HDD is broken?

Have you tried any of these steps?

Mac doesn't boot
Resolve startup issues and perform disk maintenance with Disk Utility and fsck
