When you turn on your computer and it doesn't work, saying it can't find
a drive.

You can also download the vendors (drive) diagnostic utility - just
visit their website and you should be able to find a disk test utility.

If you have a known good version of the driver assuming you know which
one is "bad" just replace it. There are several web sites that offer
common drivers.

If it happens to be a Vista system file you can always try a "repair"
if you have a full Vista DVD. This method will scan your system and
repair corrupt system files, add missing ones, etc..

That is a good question. My computer just keeps restarting over and over. I
can get it to load in safe mode. I thought there was a program/service that
you could use to see which device failed or what driver was at fault.

And no Nuns were hurt in typing this post.
