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)
That told you 11.3's Grub is on sda1 and 10.3's Grub is on sdb1.
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 that you know where Grub is, it needs to be "installed" to match its physical location. Each when installed, because you removed the 11.3 HD to install 10.3, was installed to what was sda1 at installation time. But now 10.3's is on sdb1, so needs to be "installed" there, exactly as I had anticipated (notwithstanding my reply's typo): grub> root (hd1,0) grub> setup (hd1,0) grub> quit http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/legacy/grub.html#Installing-GRUB-nat... explains in more detail. -- "The wise are known for their understanding, and pleasant words are persuasive."
