When did you re-install GRUB (grub-insall)?

Consider booting the CentOS CD #1 in "rescue" mode.

It's best to treat the two sets of discs/volumes as different, and never put them in the same system. Again, use CD #1 to boot into "rescue" mode, chroot and run grub-install with only the new discs/volumes connected. -- Bryan J.
