I was using windows and my hard disk started failing.

So i added a new 250 GB hard disk to the computer, which already have a windows installation in 30 GB partition. I installed Ubuntu on the remaining space.

Now i have dual boot, i can boot to windows installation on old failing hard disk and take backup.

I think if i remove the the failing HDD now, ubuntu stop working as boot loader is installed on first hard disk (FAILING HDD).

What should i do to get grub installed on new hard disk after i remove the old hard disk ?

If you just want the new Ubuntu drive to boot, remove the old drive and check the link below for using an Ubuntu LiveCD to reinstall GRUB:
