[Solved] System can't boot when the linux drive isn't sda

I have multiple drives in my system, one Linux, one windows, one data and one backup over USB. When I installed Linux I unplugged all the other drives to make sure I didn't mess up and install anything on any of the other drives. This meant that I addressed the Linux drive as sda when mounting etc. The Linux drive works perfectly when it is the only connected drive, but when I connect the other drives it seems like Linux is still trying to load from sda as it gives errors regarding it. However with the other drives sda is assigned to windows instead, so when Linux tries to load windows it fails. How do I make sure linux always loads from the disk that linux is on, regardless of the drive assignment my computer has given it?
