The BIOS is probably trying to boot from the wrong disk.

You can install GRUB on the hard disk, let the machine boot
automatically and, if it shows the GRUB menu, enter grub shell and check
the output of 'ls'. If it shows hd0 (the boot disk) with one partition
and hd1 with 5 partitions, then it means that it booted from the hard disk.

GRUB works on either disk as long as the BIOS boots from that disk
(manually with the SSD, automatically with the HDD). Here, it seems that
the BIOS automatically tries to boot from the HDD for whatever reason.
Did you check the disk order in the BIOS legacy boot settings ?

Did you check this ?
