[Solved] How to move Grub2 MBR from sdb to sda

Hi all.  I recently had a Legacy grub problem and decided to upgrade to Grub2.  I have two HD in my laptop and accidentally installed it on sdb instead of sda.  So now Arch and Grub live on different disks.  I would like to get them on the same disk so I can remove the second one.  I sometimes use it as an external.  I have searched but the answers seem to vary.  Does anyone have an answer or link that they know works.  Thank you all!

J.
