What he said, and also check the *partition names* on both drives. If any
share the same name, that is your problem. If someone in changed in BIOS
to book drive C instead of drive D, that will cause the drives to be
reordered in linux, but it wouldnt normally affect linux becaue the labels
will still protect you. but I suspect you have duplicate labels on
different drives.

Let us know.
