Some hardware or software has upset the serial number used by the BIOS (phoenix) to guarantee that the computer is the same as it was when it was bought. This is the trusted bit.
The setup utility needs to recalculate this number to include the new equipment, consult your laptop manufacturer Toshiba, via the support function.
Have you tried going into the bios to see if the ssd is recognized and have the computer boot from the ssd So connect the drive and put your windows disk in and install to the ssd During the install it will scan for drives and ask which drive you want to install on Make sure you check the boot options in the bios to allow the connect drive
If you are the original owner Toshiba will reset the bios for a fee and it is not cheap, they may include the HDD reset, if not! www.ebay.com type password, or hard drive password. I would check bios password, probably a lot cheaper if you can find the right seller, also check www.download.com some software may be free.
It sounds like you might have damaged your HDD when you dropped it. It's saying that the operating system isn't found, and it's trying to boot from your CD ROM. Either that or you might have left a disk in the CD drive, I'm guessing that is unlikely but worth checking maybe. By pressing F2 at start up and going into your BIOS (the Phoenix SecureCore Setup you talked about) Without changing any settings look through it until you find the HDD, or the BOOT options, if it lists a HDD don't get excited as it should be there even if it was damaged and is now unusable. Did you have your laptop on Hibernate, they say to shut them down if your transporting. Since when they are off they park the HDD, but when they are in Hibernate the HDD really isn't off it's on stand by. Making it easy to damage since the HDD is ready to read or write at the click of a button.
I think you are referring to the BIOS setup. The BIOS is the very first code that is ran after you trigger POWER, and controls all of the hardware in the PC, and without this 64k of code, your computer would not run. No display, no nothing. There have been some viruses known to infect the BIOS, the most famous being CIH, which formats the hard drive, empties the CMOS memory (also part of the BIOS, where settings such as time are stored) and re-flashes the BIOS, rendering the PC unusable. Luckily, this only infects Windows 9x machines with ATX motherboards.
