Error install Arch Linux "...sda6 is taking a long time" message.

Hello!

I have a Hp Pavilion dv5-2114br with Arch Linux and Windows7. Yesterday, i decided to reinstall both systems and when i put the Windwos7 dvd the installation stoped in the screen message: "Starting Windows". With USB Flashdrive system install is the same problem for both systems.
If i try the same thing with Arch Linux dvd i get this message:

triggering uevents ...after a while...
worker [67] /devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:11.0/ata1/host0/target0:0:0/0:0:0:0/block/sda/sda16 is taking a long time
...same message here but changing worker[89] number and sda23 number...
...same message here and changing again and again...

In the bios option "Diagnostics->Primary Hard Disk Self Test" i get no error in the short and long(80minutes) test. "Memory test" the same thing.
For about one month i was getting an message error, like "Internal Battery error [601]". I changed this RTC battery and now i don't see this error again, but nothing changed with the installation.
In the "grub rescue", if i enter "ls" i get this:

grub rescue> ls
(hd0) (hd0,msdos5) (hd0, msdos1)
grub rescue> ls (hd0)
(hd0): Filesystem is unknown
grub rescue> ls (hd0,msdos5)
(hd0,mdsos5): Filesystem is unknown
grub rescue> ls (hd0,msdos1)
(hd0,mdsos1): Filesystem is unknown

As i remember, my partitions:

Windows7 Boot partition -> sda1
Windows 7 system -> sda2 (NTFS)
Backup partition -> sda5 (NTFS)
Arch Linux  ->  sda6 (ext4)
Swap -> sda7

I have no idea how to recover my Arch partition because "ls" in "grub rescue" only shows Windows paritions! Reinstall the system i get that message, so...
What is going on and how can i fix this error, guys! I have many important things in this notebook!

EDIT: this is a netbook and i posted stuff about a tower... was related to power supply

Did you Disable UEFI boot ?

No, i don't even know how to do this. There is no UEFI option in my boot. I just put the Windows dvd in the drive and he stoped in "Starting Windows". After that i tried reinstall Arch and i got that error message in my first post.
