for me the only thing that has ever caused this (there are almost
certainly other reasons though) is when i've been playing with bios and
what type of hard drive it thinks it is.

you'll have to excuse me i'm having a momentary brain fart and can't think
of the words i want but the bit i mean is at the far right of the bios
display and the options are "normal", "large" and "LBA" (i think thats
correct anyway).

your harddrive was possibly formatted with one option and bios is trying
another.  just reboot and change it until it works (remember what it was
originally set to in case it is something else!!!)
