Also consider the physical aspect of the MB's priority detection.... sata1-4 is first in sequence followed by USB 1-* when Linux and/or bios puts everything together. So, any spinner disk or ssd in sata 1 slot will be detected as sda, sata 2 slot as sdb, etc /then/ any usb gets picked up in sequence to continue the lettering scheme. Always has when I was tracking which drive the systems where using. In this case if no usb drive is attached then note which slot you have the hdd plugged into, noted on the print on the MB, and this should lead you to the scheme in system /then/ where ever grub is pointed to is your device; typically sda if a solo drive install.
