Yah, I first thought that infedelity had a defective cathode until it happened to me. I guess some might steal too much power when booting.

When cathodes are turned on, a large spike of voltage is needed to get that gas started. The xbox booted with that error, but the HDD seemed to be running. My guess is that when the cathode first booted, it took too much power, which caused the HDD to boot less than a second too late, at least late enouph for the bios to read no HDD. Was bad timing, that's all.
