This often happens when you have the wrong bios settings for your hard
drives.  You may need to change the drive from large or lba to something
else.  Play with those settings.  Changing them will require a reload.
You can always test access to the system by booting from a boot floppy,
and then see if you can see the partitions.  You should be able to, if
this setting is wrong.  It generally only affects the Boot process.
