Easily fixed - just get into a working system, and you install grub on the disk you need a boot loader to point at the correct disk (usually the same one, but not always!) and off you go. <br />

I know grub uses that hd(0,1) business that is hard to get your mind around... so there is that part of the equation also...</div>
