That is unrelated to the hdd and the OS. You can boot from cd or usb (if you board allows usb boot) in any case, even without a hdd in the system.
That's a separate issue, either the cd/usb is not prepared correctly, the ISO image is bad, etc.
If nothing else works another option is taking out the hdd and plugging it into another machine. But you will still need to boot from cd/usb to actually make the new install.

Maybe this is not anymore the right forum....I'm trying to reboot from USB and I have now a new message...it goes so quickly that I can barely read it, hope it's written right
Un mount :/dev/: device is busy
(In some cases usefull info about process that use this device is found in isof(8) or fuser (11)
[here there is a number that I can't read on time]: stopping all devices
What that means??
Thanks...

That sounds like linux but on the usb. Maybe it's not created correctly or the ISO was corrupted. Try remaking it.

Finally Solved! I managed to make the live CD (was actually a problem with the image), enter in the system and save my files.
then I've reinstalled everything.
Thanks for your help!

I had the same problem after another user (*cough* wife *cough*) did a hard reset during the upgrade process.
In my case, from the root command prompt that came up by default, I ran:
which seemed to execute without finding errors, and thenCode:e2fsck -C0 -p -f -v /dev/sda1
as suggested here: http://superuser.com/questions/42059...sful-upgradingCode:mount -o remount,rw / apt-get -f dist-upgrade
Apt upgraded 1680 packages or so, and I got a few prompts to select a language and text encoding, etc., for which I accepted the defaults. Then I was able to restart (although the restart process hung because it was blocked), and log in as usual to 12.04. A few packages which had wanted to download data as part of the upgrade process complained, which were: nautilus-dropbox, ttf-mscorefonts-installer, and flashplugin-installer. I reinstalled them with
Right now the system seems normal, except that the package unity-scope-musicstores was kept back. I removed that package to prevent it from bugging me since I wasn't planning to use the music store any time soon.Code:sudo apt-get --reinstall install nautilus-dropbox ttf-mscorefonts-installer flashplugin-installer

In my case, it didn't work because there is no network
mount -o remount,rw /
/etc/init.d/networking start
/etc/init.d/bind9 start
Now you can try a ping, for example
ping www.ard.de
After a succesfull ping you can continue with
apt-get -f dist-upgrade
