Thank you Ian,
This is really an academic exercise because the laptop is basically
useless and I'm going to toss it into the bin but I'd still like to get
it going before doing so just out of curiosity.

What I've written is not true. "ls (hd0, msdos0)", if I remember
correctly, shows that the the format of the disc is ext2. I have
replaced all instances of "hd1" to hd0" in the grub.cfg but I'm still
greeted with the grub rescue prompt.

I had already tried that and the result is "unknown filesystem". I'll
try it again in case I'd made a typing error.
Thank you Ian for the links, more reading.
