Upgrading your Computer's BIOS most probably solves this problem as well:

I had the same problem with an HP compaq nc4400 notebook which had been upgraded to a 320 Gig HDD.
I was able to solve the problem by upgrading the BIOS.
This cured the BIOS' 128 GB HDD Bug and made the grub-Problem simply go away.
HP offers BIOS updates not only using a windows program, but also as a bootable FreeDOS Image.

The same is true for an old Dell 510 (also only recognizing 128 GB HDD). Since I upgraded the BIOS to ver A04 (that's the version without the 128GB HDD bug), in boots just fine.
