I had something similar to this happen on my laptop once a ways back.. It was a T40 and the screw that holds the HD had fallen out (without me noticing) and the HD had actually come out of its slot slightly.. Plugging the disk back in and then booting fixed the problem.. But in a desktop this just seems to be not possible unless maybe your drive went bad??
