Agreed, the reason I did this was that for some reason the grub on the secondary disk was taking priority over the first disk. I have no idea why this was happening. I thought there ought to be some setting in the BIOS to change which disk was used to boot, but my BIOS only had one option 'Hard Disk' in the boot order configuration; there was no way to specify which hard disk was used to boot.
