Grub has to use bios for the first stage of the boot.  If adding
a drive changed your bios' concept of which was your 1st and 2nd
(bootable) drives, then grub really doesn't have anything to do
with it.  You need to install a boot loader on the drive that
bios will boot.

If bios is still booting the initial grub loader, then it is
a grub issue, but just involves setting the configuration to
find where your /boot partition now using grub's non-Linux
oriented device names.

That should only be necessary if your bios won't boot the
SATA.
