When you boot from the live cd, (you need to do this before clicking on
any gui links that will mount the paritions)

sudo -s
mkdir /mnt/boot /mnt/root
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /mnt/boot
mount -t ext3 /dev/sda4 /mnt/root

Also, sorry to be a broken record, but after those commands successfully
complete, I'll neet a listing of files found under /mnt/boot and also,
the contents of /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst file (if there is one)

Also, try making a change to the /mnt/boot/grub/menu.lst and see if that
time, the change gets applied to your boot menu.
