Recently dropped my MBP and now it won't boot. It sounded like the disk was failing to mount and the initial screen was blank. Now the screen blinks a file folder w a question mark inside. Please advise

When you dropped it the hard drive crashed. Most likely due to the needle coming into contact with the platters.
