It's grub-install/grub that creates stage1 based on the grub.conf

You can get rid of the generated files like this, preferably after
removing slave drive and after booting with boot disk:

  rm /boot/grub/*1_5 /boot/grub/stage* 
  grub-install --recheck --force-lba /dev/hda

Option --force-lba might be interesting.
