This may sound like a silly question, but are the cables to the hard drive in (sometimes they can get partially dislodged from the hard drive or motherboard for mysterious reasons)

To use cfdisk, all you need to do is open a terminal and type:

sudo cfdisk

(the sudo gives you root privlages)
That should present you with your partition table.

I tried but nothing happens
It advises me that is no partition If I want to start with zero table
I said yes and it seems to be working but when I type sudo cfdisk again.......
Fdisk said invalid flag 0x0000 of partition 4 table will be corrrected by w(rite)  I do that and again......... :-(

I honestly have no idea what's wrong with this thing, but it sounds like it should be able to be fixed.
