This reason for this error message is that "you" are trying to make a 
MBR grub installation on a GPT partitioned disk.
To install grub on a GPT partitioned disk you need to have a partition 
of size mininum 1M with type BIOS boot, ef02 or bios_grub depending on 
used partitioning application. Read full explanation and instructions 
here:
