Hard drives wont mount - and Disk Utility can be accessed from DVD but won't format
 

After hours of work, finally got the iAtkos 7 dvd booting up (I have had a successful install on a previous system) - I used "busratio=31 -v", however I noticed that during the verbose boot I could see that it was saying;

disk 0 s1 cannot mount
disk 0 s2 cannot mount
etc (from memory, not exactly like that)

But i didn't think anything of it.

Then when i went in to format my fat32 partition to HFS Journalled disk utility wouldn't do it, and then i tried mounting the other drives, and none of them would mount. Tried doing the repair thing, no luck.

Even trying to mount a drive from the same hdd i used in my last systems install didnt work.

My setup is
160gb: Win7, Leopard, Blank Space
1tb: my data

I have tried in ahci and ide modes.
