grub re-install itself as I suggested before. If it does, there may
be something odd about another drive. (Remember: Windows cares about
which partition is marked as bootable, but no other OS gives a hoot.
Using gpartd, or something similar to make sure that your older
drives have nothing marked as bootable can't hurt.)
While other OSs do not care, the BIOS may care. Some BIOS will not
boot at all if there isn't a partition marked as bootable. Also, it
may boot from the drive with the bootable partition regardless of
the boot order. Systems not wanting to boot with a partition marked
as bootable has come up on the list many times in the past.
