you have inserted a disk containing no volumes that MAC OS X can read .

Hi , When I boot my Mac OS 10.3 I get the following when I logon "error you have inserted a disk containing no volumes that MAC OS X can read"

Although I can still see my hard drive on the desktop called Macintosh HD and I can access all files it seems as if something related to by boot / systems files has gone wrong as this error appears every time I boot. When I open up disk Utility I can see my hard disk yet the name is no longer Macintosh HD, the name changed to a numeric number.

When I try install any application it says unable to mount drive. When I connect My IPOD it also says you have inserted a disk containing no volumes that MAC OS X can read .

Please can I get some help on what files or settings has changed. All this occured when i plugged a USB external drive into my MAC. I have since removed the USB drive.

Might be a permissions issue. This happens sometimes when someone other than admin logs on. You can get this error when you have restricted access on an account. Run "Repair Permissions" from the Disk Utility App. Hope this helps.

I have attempted on a number of occasions to verify as well as repair permissions. This does not help. I simply dont know what to do, I have read hundreds of support. Please help. I have attatech a pic of what my disk util looks like. At the moment I have my ipod connected and nothing is seen as it should.
