But it'd be better to reinstall grub.
Only if MBR is where Grub was installed on the old HD. IOW, when standard MBR code can be used on a system that includes Windows, it should be used, so that when Windows is eventually re-installed, no post-installation MBR "repair" is necessary to get booting back to normal[1]. Of the 30+ systems here, most of which are multiboot with at least 3 installed operating systems, none have Grub installed on any MBR. In the OP's case, if standard MBR code was on the old disk, 'FDISK /MBR' from a DOS floppy boot is probably the easiest MBR fix. If Grub was there, then reinstalling Grub is probably best.
