There seems to be more issues but i don't know if related to the drop. I can finish verifying the disk it always fails. I get this far:
Verifying volume “Macintosh HD”
Checking HFS Plus volume.
Checking Extents Overflow file.
Checking Catalog file.
Checking multi-linked files.
Checking Catalog hierarchy.
Checking Extended Attributes file.
Checking volume bitmap.
Checking volume information.
Volume Header needs minor repair
The volume Macintosh HD needs to be repaired.
Error: The underlying task reported failure on exit
Put in your OSX install disk and boot from that, then run Disc Utility from there. Instructions on how to do so are available from Apple.com.

You'll need to get the screen replaced. Those grey spots (pressure points) don't come off.
Do you know how much a screen replacement costs? Is this covered under waranty?
There was also a mark (not a grey mark) but a spot that is brighter on my screen that was there when I got the computer. I never had time to take it in, i figured that was under waranty, but now that ive droped the computer is my warranty not valid anymore? The computer is in fine shape just the screen issue.

Where is the white spot located? In the center? Or bottom left/right corner? The Apple Genius told me this is not covered under warranty, and I had to argue with the store manager to have them replace it for me.
Mines located in the uper right part of the screen, I could live with it, but now that I have the pressure point marks ill have to get it replaced. So does anyone know about how much this is going to cost me?
I recall my Computer Science teacher telling me if I dropped my loaner iBook, a replacement screen would cost $900.

*crys* So there is no way to get rid of the pressure point dots? the macbook didnt drop that hard how is it that sme people drop there and have dents in the cases yet nothing hapens to there screen?
If you can live with the pressure points then do so until you can scrape up the cash to replace it. That, being said, you never know when the screen might fail.
You could always try the Apple Store and see what they say as to how much it will cost to replace.
