I've tried PCLinuxOs 2007 and Ubuntu and the both give me the same error.
The Master IDE HD has XP, I installed a second IDE disk and installed
Ubuntu. However, I have a third Sata disk where I store all my music,
pics, etc. I realized that because of the SATA disk I get the Grub
Error 17 at stage 1.5.
Aha.
When I boot from Live Cd, it recognizes all three disks, I can even
navigate through them.
I see.

That's very normal :) .
It displays the options to boot either from my first HD (WinXP) or my
second HD (Ubuntu) but the Sata disk has to be unplugged in order for
the Grub to boot correctly, and obviously the disk won't be available on
any of the OS.
It's obvious.
This error happens before the grub menu shows and of course I never get
the menu, I restart the machine and same thing happens.
I see.
Some installers do not detect correctly the first hard disk (the one
that bios sets to boot the first one) and so problems happen.
You should reinstall grub on the MBR.
I recommend you to use Super Grub Disk. Just use the Linux -> Fix Boot
of Linux (GRUB) option. Select the partition whereUbuntu is and you are
done. (With the SATA disk plugged in).
You might have then problems with menu.lst not booting your Ubuntu or
even your Windows but at last you will see your menu.
After that happens you can edit your menu.lst (with a live cd) so that
finding and replacing hd0 with hd1 and/or hd2 and viceversa fixes the
problem.
I mean when you unplug your sata disk then:
hd0 : IDE1 HDD
hd1 : IDE2 HDD
and then when you plug it you have:
hd0 : IDE1 HDD
hd1 : SATA HDD
hd2 : IDE2 HDD
.
But now that I am thinking about this subject again there is one better
way of solving it if your bios lets you. You should edit the Hard Disk
Boot Order in your bios so that it says:
hd0 : IDE1 HDD
hd1 : IDE2 HDD
hd2 : SATA HDD
and no error 17 will appear and no grub re-installation will be needed.
