[PLUG] GRUB is too nosy

OLD BOX: Win2K and Red Hat dual-booted on a IDE drive
NEW BOX: WinXP and Ubuntu (now 10.04) dual-boot, each OS on its' own
SATA drive. Of course, GRUB handles the boot choices.
I wanted to pull some files off the old IDE drive, so I connected it to
the legacy IDE port on the motherboard. When I powered up this new
hardware configuration, I was surprised when the GRUB screen asked me to
choose between Win2K and Red Hat Linux. GRUB preferred the IDE drive to
the two SATA drives.
How do I configure GRUB to prefer the SATA drives over the old IDE
drive?
