21 : Selected disk does not exist
     This error is returned if the device part of a device- or full
     file name refers to a disk or BIOS device that is not present or
     not recognized by the BIOS in the system.

grub has a very nice interactive mode you can access by pressing 'c' from
the menu; I recommend going there and poking around to see what might be
happening.  It will let you enumerate and do some basic examination of the
available devices, so you can see what's what.
