Please take a look at the grub man pages.

You certainly used to be able to create a grub *device map* file that 
would allow it to tell the OS that its drive was the the first one, e.g. 
sda even if it according to the BIOS it was sdb.

I would be surprised if this feature has been removed as it is exactly 
what you need when running different OSs on separate hard drives. 
Especially Windows because it really wants to be on the first drive (C: 
or sda).
