Dying HD and MBR

I am looking for advice as to how to move my master boot record.  I have
two IDE HDs, hda and hdb.  Everything is on hdb - hda isn't even
mounted.  However, the MBR is on hda.  hda is showing SMART errors on
boot, but I can continue when I hit F1 - and as long as I get a clean
read of the MBR once, I'm up and running.  The question is, I want to
pull hda without leaving myself in an unbootable state.  The boot loader
is grub.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

yours,

William
