Unable to upload file using File/File Upload Field

New to drupal, please excuse if there is a simple solution to this

I created a file filed in my content type so that we would be able to upload .pdf's

After I uploaded my first pdf I have this error:

user warning: Table 'pinmag.upload' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM files f INNER JOIN upload r ON f.fid = r.fid WHERE r.vid = 3 ORDER BY r.weight, f.fid in /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/pinnacle/modules/upload/upload.module on line 562.

Even after I erase this specific field type the error is still ther.
Unsure if there is something in the upload settings I need to configure or if I need another module installed in order to make this type of field work correctly.
Currently I have CCK installed, also I do not have FIleField Meta enabled - not sure if this has anything to do with it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
