Looks like a hardware problem.

Try booting from the installation media in rescue mode
or from a Knoppix cd.

 From there it is possible to do an "fdisk -l".

Before fsck'ing I would test the hardware:

If the drive has SMART, see what

smartctl -a /dev/hda

tells you.

Run a test on the drive with:

smartctl -t long /dev/hda

and after the test has finished, see what

smartctl -a /dev/hda

gives of information.

Check cables, etc.
