I know it's marked as [SOLVED] (i think it should be marked as gave up )
but today i faced the same situation and go google to find some answers...and came up to this post... ok the boring part finish here.

Solution for the problem:

For some reason (someone explained it in the post) GRUB gets confused when you install with 2 HDs and boot from the second one (he thinks that is the 2nd drive when for a while that is the main HD (1st) ) so u will just have to edit the command:
(i base in mine config)

root(hd1,0)

to:

root(hd0,0)

and grub will do the job...
