    The BIOS does recognize the disk when booting up. The system BIOS has the
    following listed for the drive controllers:
                                 
                        PATA: Both (enabled)
                        SATA Enabled
                        SATA RAID Disabled
     
    PATA is enabled to allow CD-ROM drive functionality. SATA is enabled for the
    hard drive in question, while the SATA RAID is disabled because there is only
    one drive in the system.
     
    During the installation GRUB was installed to the MBR.

    That looks like a BIOS error meaning it can't find a bootloader on your
    hard disk, rather than a linux driver issue, which would only present
    itself sometime after the kernel had started running. Does your BIOS
    recognise your disk(s) and did you install grub in the MBR?
