Have you considered unplugging the drives, and re-plugging them in the
opposite order?  Of course that may entail fiddling with grub so drive 2
is drive 1, so to speak.

An alternative is to leave the bootloader as it is, use it to boot the
second drive with the OS, and simply use the rest of that drive for your
data, etc.  Proportionally speaking, the boot partition ought to small
enough to not worry too much over.
