Ok - slight update. Got one more PC to work by updating the Grub file (on the subject of which why is Grub 2 called 1.98..), but one remains immune to booting. Can get to the Grub menu now by holding down shift as it boots, so the PC is obviously trying to pass control to Grub. Looking at the entries in the Grub menu, it assigns root as (hd1,1) however according to GParted the disk is sdc1  (which equates to (hd2,1) . The thing still hangs when you then proceed.

Starting to wonder now if this problem started after Grub was updated in a recent  'auto' update.
