Could my problem be that Grub is not installed on the new disks.
Yes.
If that's the case, how can I check. How can I fix it if this is the problem. NB I'm using grub legacy (V0.97)
Forget checking: it's easier just to rewrite the boot block on each disk. There are other ways, but I would boot a rescue CD, run 'grub' and then:
grub> root (hd0,0) grub> setup (hd0)
Repeat the above two command hd1, hd2 and hd3. If grub doesn't recognise a disk, hit tab after 'hd' and grub will list the valid completions. Once you've done all that, exit from grub and reboot.
