You mean there is no sound after you login?
I fail to see any relation with that fact (no sound) and the bootloader
being located in a floppy disk or SuperGrubDisk so I would investigate
first why the sound stopped from working.

I recovered sound in Lenny after booting with SuperGrub and running
alsaconf as root. I picked up my old SoundBlaster Live card and the
emu10k1 module with alsaconf and set it up as the main sound card
(there's also an integrated AC'97 in the motherboard) card with index=0.
Then sound came back.
Ah, that makes more sense to me :-)

My disks are set up as follows:
IDE 80 GB hda: 2 partitions
hd0, 40 GB --- windows xp boot;
hd1, 40 GB --- windows xp data files
SATA 80 GB sda 1 partition
sda 80 GB -- windows data files
SATA 500 GB
sdb 1 partition sdb (??) 500 GB ---lenny
I haven't been able to configure Grub 0.94 to boot in this setup so I
have used SuperGrub or a bootable floppy with Lenny. Could you point me
to an appropiate grub setup?
Well, it seems you have 3 physical hard disks, with windows installed in
the first partition of the IDE hdd and Lenny in the second SATA (500 GiB).
First you have to do is *to know* what hard disk is being booted in first
place by the BIOS (IDE 80 -windows- or SATA 500 -lenny-). After that,
put here the results of your findings and we will see what could be the
better setup for installing GRUB :-)
