Either the hard drive is dead, or the wires to it have come loose.

If you are comfortable opening your computer, do the following.

1) Unplug it from the wall.
2) Touch the case to ensure you don't have any static electricity on you.
3) Open the case.
4) Locate the hard drives, they will be near the front of the case.
5) Gently push on the wires coming out of the hard drives, just to make sure they're seated. This will not take too much force.
6) Close the case, plug the computer back in, and turn it on.
