It's difficult to diagnose this without more information. Like your whole set-up.
For some reason, it sounds like your board is not responding. Have you tried another USB cable?
I have had that message after unplugging and re-plugging the Arduino while the IDE serial monitor is open. Try un-plugging &restarting the IDE. Seems the OS assigns a new COM port for the board and the IDE sticks with the old one ( can't reselect in menu either ).
I'm running windows 7 so this may be irrelevant to you.
Are you using the Arduino Software 1.0?
Try it with an older one.
There is a bug see
HMM, it gets weirder and weirder. I down loaded arduino-0023, made no changes to the port or hardware or preferences file and it works perfectly. So, I renamed the avr directory in ...\arduino-1.0\hardware\tools and then copied the avr directory...
