It would be nice if you could send "fdisk -l" output and grub.conf.
grub counts disks and partition from 0.
(hd0,0) first disk first partion
(hd1,0) second disk first partition .... etc

Linux kernel enumerate disks as:
sda - whole disk
sda1 -first disk first partition
sdb - whole disk
sdb1 - second disk first partition
