Hello Jinx and welcome,
You said "No Drivers attached", do you mean DRIVES?
If so, sounds like your Harddrive has crashed. May need to be replaced.
You may be able to get a diagnostic from the HD manufacturers site.
Take a look and let us know.

In the meantime make sure you have all your files backed up

Check if there is any loose connections, See if your bios can detect your HD

Hmmmmm, getting a bit more confusing now Jinx.
Did you try to reinstall Windows in order to fix this problem?
What version of windows are you using?
Is there anything on the harddrive you can live without?
Does it say "No Drivers attached" or "No {i]DRIVES[/i]?

If you want to install windows again, there are certain proceedures to follow depending on what version you are using.
Let us know and we can go from there. http://www.PCGuide.com/ubb/cool.gif
