GRUB legacy, which is what you are using, was abandonned five years ago.
It's demise is mourned but, while it may work on your installation and
could be repaired, the reality is GRUB 2 is in constant development and
there are more people around who have experience of it to help.
You should consider either upgrading from Lenny(?) to Squeeze or a new
install of Squeeze. If it is an old install you may not care either way.
