Missed option 0 (thinking sda2 was still FAT32 as on old HD):

sda2 is the Windows "My Documents" folder.

Your new HD fdisk -l output says sda2 is Linux native, not something commonly
used by those booting Windows.

Again, what's wrong with sda5? It's worked well for years.

Nobody can go straight to sda5 with standard MBR code. To get there requires
a step/chain from sda[1-4] (using standard MBR code), or a specialized boot
manager, or alien MBR code. You obviously were using alien (Grub) MBR code,
the default for most Linux installations regardless whether actually needed
or whether Windows is also installed.

What's your sdb1 used for?
