Well, I was playing csgo and i kicked my computer and it fell on its side. I turned it back on and it turned on, the fan and heatsink were working aswell. Then I heard a tick tick tick that came from my internal hard drive. I took apart my computer (I have before to install a new power supple and video card) and everything is plugged in and I get a message saying this wont boot up or it doesn't see it.
Here is the video:

Please if you know anything about resolving this error, explain in good detail down below.

I am sorry to say, you need a new harddrive, when you knocked it over you ruined some of the components inside the harddrive.

What's happening is most likely that something on the hard drive itself was damaged, resulting in the read head not being able to read what is on the plate. Because of this, you'll need to buy a new hard drive. It's pretty tough to recover data from a broken drive, but explore options at local tech places to see what they could do.

I knew it!, I just wished I took the time to explain it like how you did.

HDD crashed like Cubes said. In the future don't tip over your computer or buy flash storage.

I bet if i knocked it on the other side it would have been fine, the dvd player works, the motherboard works, fan works, heatsink, power supply, just the hdd...

Any recommendations on a internal hard drive?
EDIT: I know a electronic store where they can recover the data.
