I share a computer with my family, and my brother or sister seriously fucked up the drives.

I tried to uninstall and reinstall the drives yet I get the error code 39 failed to load driver, so I updated all my drivers still to no avail.

I'm thinking it's the bus mastering drivers if that has anything to do with it, but I can't seem to find anything that will help me out, anyone no of anywhere or anything.

If you're using Win2k/XP, try a repair installation from the installation disk. Since you cannot make the drives appear, one or more system files might be damaged (Don't start the Recovery Console, go to Install XP, select Windows and press R for repair).
Make a backup beforehand, although it only deletes the system files and restores them in the installation process. You also will need your CD-key to verify the installation again, although Windows XP will remain activated.

(That helped me today, after a conversion of all four partitions from FAT32 to NTFS after that tutorial, since some things didn't went wright, such a very noisy and long boot-up time - now everything except System Restore is fine )
