From what you had previously written in thread, it was not clear to me that you were reaching a Grub menu in the first place whenever the old HD in USB was not attached, else I would not have written the above.
What about the MBR on the Windows partition? IIRC, there's supposed to be one. The bootmgr file is there.
Partitions do not have an MBR. Maximum quantity of MBR per BIOS HD is one, the first 512 bytes of the very first disk sector. Partitions have a PBR, and logical partitions also have an EBR.
