Try changing the BIOS settings to use LBA mode for your drive - Grub is
at the mercy of the BIOS at this stage.

Alternatively, if you do reinstall, set up a small /boot partition at
the beginning of the disk. 32Mb should do it, I tend to use 128Mb.

Grub will be able to access all its required files from there, all
safely within range of the BIOS :-)
