Actually it can be fixed more quickly without reinstalling, but reinstalling would work too if you specify to install 10.3's Grub _only_ on the 10.3 root partition.
Leaving your 11.3's menu.txt alone at least for the time being, just start up a grub shell from a root login in 11.3, then
grub> find /boot/grub/stage1 # shows you what partition 10.3's Grub is on
I did this and this is what I got: (hd0,0) (hd1,0)
grub> root (hd1,0) # substitute for 0 whatever was shown in prior command grub> setup (hd1,0 # ditto grub> quit
Because of what I got with the 'find' thing, I'm not sure I understand what I'm supposed to do now.
Now mount the 10.3 root partition somewhere where you can edit 10.3's /boot/grub/menu.lst and /etc/fstab as and if necessary. If those files refer to sda or hda and (hd0,x) they'll need to be changed to sdb or hdb and (hd1,x).
Once those things are done your current 11.3's selection to boot 10.3 should work.
