Yesterday I was on my computer and it was working perfectly, I turned
it off and later came back to go onto it, it loded up just like normal
but after the XP loading screen instead of going to my user log in
screen, the screen wen black and a blue screen appeared saying an
error had accured, it said it might be caused by some bad software or
hardware but I hadn't installed any so it couldn't be that, so I
restarted my computer a few times and the same screen kept comming up.
After a while I noticed at the first screen when loading up the
computer it says "Pri Slave...Not Detected and Sec Slave...Not
Detected" ans so I think that, that might have something to do with my
computer breaking. If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it.

You have some hardware failure. The primary slave drive and the
secondary slave drive are not being found in the BIOS. If you are
comfortable working with hardware and you understand what I just said,
then reseat all the cables and power connectors going to the drives. If
not, take the machine to a professional computer repair shop (not your
local version of BigStoreUSA). If the computer is an OEM machine (HP,
Dell, etc.) and is still under warranty, call the OEM's tech support
first.

Sounds like a hardware problem, probably the motherboard. Best checked by a
technician.
