Well not knowing your skill level I'll just give you a few things you can check and if you can't do it then I'm sure you'll be able to find someone. First, make sure that your hard drive is detected in BIOS, if not then change it to auto-detect and it will find your hard drive assuming your hard drive is in good shape. Reboot and if you get the same error then put your XP CD in the CD drive and reboot again. Enter the Recovery Console and fix MBR (Master Boot Record). If none of those work then your options are pretty slim. You probably gonna need a new hard drive. :

What problem resulted in no drives being detected except for the CD or floppy drive?
Assuming that the only other drive you have on your system is your hard drive, then a hard drive failure could be why it is not being detected. The hard drive could also not be installed correctly, but unless you have taken it out or changed the settings in CMOS, then this is unlikely.
