Is your removable hd still attached? IIRC grub counts discs from "0",
so your "hd1" would then refer to your second hd. Do you have grub
installed on the aptosid system? What's your BIOS  boot preference?
A mix-up like this could explain why when you reinstalled grub to
version 2.xx you still get reported back v 1.99 by bootinfoscript.
