when I try to run a guest os in virtualbox it tells me to run /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup. When I run vboxdrv it says to check the log file for an error. When I check the log file it says it cant find headers file. When I run :-

sudo apt-get install build-essential linux-headers-`uname -r`

I get this :-

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
build-essential is already the newest version.
E: Couldn't find package linux-headers-2.6.28.3.20090331

How do I get round this.
