Chances are your HD has failed but try removing it and reinserting, a friend had a similar issue last week and it turned out that it was worked loose from it's fittings.

If you do get the drive working though I'd test it using the relevant manufacturers disk diagnostic tools...

ExcelStore

Fujitsu

Hitachi/IBM

Samsung

Seagate, Maxtor, Quantum

Toshiba

Western Digital

Everytime a bit squeezes into my brain a byte falls out.
