Default Speechless!!!!!

Hi all

I have gone to new heights with my Linux trashing! I am absolutly stunned beyond words.....

Testing away, I installed Kubuntu Hardy Heron on a laptop. All went really well, installation, setting up wireless, multimedia, you name it.
On and off, I worked on this installation for roughly two to three hours.
Then I decided to restart the laptop.

On boot I got the message - "This is not a bootable disk..... yadi yadi ya"
WTF? I already restarted the laptop once after installation. I was working on the bloody thing for ages! OK, no sweat, I will rescue the system using the almighty 'rescue a broken system' option.
CD in, go through the motion - Stage Fail!!! Cannot go into rescue mode.
WTF????? OK, so lets pretend I am starting again. I will just re-install the base system. All my settings are already on my /home partition...
CD in, go through the motion, get to the partitioner - NOTHING ON THE DISK!!!!!! THE DISK IS WIPED CLEAN!!!!! There is not a thing on the disk!!!!! 40GB of virgin, unadulterated, disk space!!!!

Tell me you have seen anything like this before!!!!!!

Common! Crown me the KING!!!!!!
