[ubuntu-nz] missing hard drive

[Papabear aka Reinhold]

Howdy

I run 10.10
It asked for a update on some security issues and while downloading the
data it hung - completely
Against my better judgement the only thing left was to crash shut down the
pc and reboot.
Now It will not reboot -
turns out the hard drive is well pretty much invisible.
It does not show up on the bios / or can be seen if a live cd is used or
with a usb pendrive used (gparted)
When booting up - I get as far as a flashing curser on the top left side
and that just blinks away for decades

Thoughts???

Cheers

Reinhold
