Perhaps this would be of some use:

This issue can be caused by one of the following reasons:
- Hard disk drive has no room to place system files or to
backup data on hard disk drive incase the drive needs to
be unformatted.
- Master boot record is corrupted.
- Partitions are corrupted or missing.
- Hard disk drive is bad.
