BadCRC means that the kernel detected that data is being corrupted somewhere between the computer and drive.
99% of these cases are due hardware that has failed or is starting to fail. The only other possibilities usually are mis-configuring DMA mode from BIOS, or having two incompatible (different capabilities, eg.ata133 and ata66 or only impartial support for such) drives on a split ide cable. What GRUB attempts to do is to use the simplest possible ways to obtain data from the HDD. If there are problems already in that phase, it really is not fixable in any way other than changing hardware.
