I have never heard of Grub doing this before.
Just when you think you know something well. Something pops up to prove you wrong. I stand corrected.

I am not sure what they changed in the BIOS, but whatever they did worked.

One of them may have a solution to your exact problem.

I believe it's a bios thing...I will try to see what I can find in the bios tonight...will post results later...

I got it to boot...It was a bios problem and I had to turn off auto detection in the bios and set it to user type hdd.

Solution

According to airhead this can be caused by having your bios detect your disks automatically. Try to set your bios entry to User Type HDD.

Another possibility is that you had Grub installed on your MBR and tried reinstalling it (for instance due to hard disk changes) but used the wrong setup and root commands.
