how to reinstall grub

[nepal]

My next task is to install grub again. 
As my hd0 is the drive I have had problems with, is it best 
to install grub to the boot sector of my second drive, and 
would I refer to it as hd1?

i.e. grub-install hd1.

should I run --recheck as an option.

I can set the second drive to be checked first in the boot 
sequence within the bios until I have the problems with hd0 
sorted out. Is this the best way for now?
