Hi Dan, 

I have a similar problem with Kali-Linux and Debian. Everytime I upgrade a 
kernel in kali-linux (which is on second drive), it overwrites grub on the 
first drive.

My solution: I am booting "super-grub-disk-2" (google for it), and from this I 
can boot the old grub configuration.

When booted into debian (by using super-grub-disk-2), I am able to reinstall 
grub on the first drive again. 

You can either use "dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc" or "update-grub" or even just 
reinstall the package "grub-pc".

I also tried to use the debian installation cd in rescue mode, but I never get 
success. At all, I am really not very happy with debian installation cd in 
rescue mode. My favourites are special live rescue  cd's like Trinity-Rescue-
Kit, RIP, Knoppix and GRML.

Hope this helps a little bit.

Good luck!
