installed wrong grub

[youbaji]

Hello all,
I have ubuntu 8.04LTS and winxp on the same hard drive. I intended to reinstall grub after windows installation. I couldn't find my 8.04 disk so I used ubuntu 9.10 livecd and executed "grub-install /dev/sda". Then I realized I installed a different grub. After reboot, I had a "grub>" command line. I typed in same commands in my correct "/boot/grub/menu.lst" for booting ubuntu. The system started to boot for a few seconds and rebooted.
So, is this a kernel problem or a grub problem?
Is there a way to correct this?

Thanks!

Thank you for your suggestions.
I have solved the problem. It is a grub problem. I installed an older version of grub and the problem is gone.
