Is this when you are installing the OS or on an installed OS?

I suggest you boot to liveCD and fsck the partitions. I also recommend you grab the ultimate boot CD and test the drive using the manufacturers tool to make sure that it is physically healthy

Why don't you have a backup of the data you need!?

You can mount the partition in another PC and copy stuff to your hearts content

You could try to reinstall Grub:
    https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Reinstalling%20from%20LiveCD
But as said actionparsnip, you could have to fsck the disk. For this:
   boot on Ubuntu CD and choose "Try without install"
   System->Administration->Gparted, select partition and run "Check"

Can you help with this problem?
