Yes, that's how it looked to me. The problem was I couldn't get much done with grub rescue CLI.

As I understand it, "update-grub" runs "grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg". I think it will simply update my existing and working grub config file at my old /dev/sda drive. Actually, after I ran "grub-install" I copied all files from /dev/sda1 boot partition to /dev/sdb1.

I have the new HD offline at the moment. As I remember it, "ls" output looked like the following:
(hd0,msdos1) (hd0,msdos2), (hd0,swap), something like that.

Thanks
