  Fatal. There is the off-chance I did not mark the drive as 
  bootable in the partition table.

  I don't think you should have switched. But you are correct
  this should not matter until grub is loaded. You did switch
  the drives?

  Try again with the bios, it if it sees the 140 G as the 
  first drive. If it does, it is probably not bootable.
 
  Switch back, boot, look at the partition table

cfdisk /dev/sdb

  there sholud be a "boot" flag on the large sdb1 partion.
