It just checks that grub has the right setting for the disks.
It's not normally necessary unless one has changed the setup in some way,
eg by installing a new disk.

Incidentally, if you have problems with grub
it may be worth running it interactively.
(There is a command at the bottom of the splash screen, if you get that far.)
I've found this helpful in the past.
