PPS. open up the case and ensure that your IDE cables aren't loose.

Most likely the EIDE cable loosened (or fell out) from the motherboard. Open the case, make sure the computer is off but plugged in, this will allow you to ground youself on the computers metal frame (to prevent static electricity damage).

Check the cable that runs to your D drive (it probably also connects to E), unplug the cable and replug it into each of the drives and the motherboard.

Options enough:[ol type=\'i\'][li]If you have an iso of the hotu cd, you can try this emulator (it's free, and works for me)
http://www.daemon-tools.cc/dtcc/portal/portal.php
Or an other emulator program.
[/li][li]Or, search the net for the crack. You rather will find a crack than a full iso of hotu. Not to mention the fat download. In case you can't fin one yourself, you can try thise one:
http://www.antiworld.biz/modules.php?name=...=nwn_no_cd_1.65
[/li][li]Or, install linux (or unix with linux emulation) and run the linux client. (doesn't require the cd to run)
[/li][li]Or, plug the ide cable, in and out. (flat 2x20pins connector, probably blue) If your two drive stop working at once (probably on the same cable), it's nearly 100% sure the connector on the mainboard that doesn't connects well. You can also check your bios, to be sure it's not your windows doing crazy.
[/li][li]Or, wait till your ugly computer guy comes[/li][/ol]I probably did repeat some of the tips other helpfull poeple gave, but well. At least one, out of this list, should help you out.
