Laptop won't boot after installation - disk error



I just did a fresh installation of Debian. Everything seemed to go off
correctly but when I came to reboot I got:

Non-system disk or disk error: replace and strike any key when ready.

I reinstalled twice and also reinstalled grub twice. No errors reported.
I suspect a hard disk failure or cmos problem. Any other ideas? Is it
possible to boot via a cdrom? All the files are there on the hard disk
when I look at it via rescue.
