Can you please check your fstabs in both installations please? Are they
listed as
/dev/sdX or as
/dev/disk-by-label or /dev/disk-by-uuid?
If they're listed as /dev/sdX, whatever disk is detected first gets sda
and so on, which could be why you get mixed file systems.
If this is the case, just modifying your fstab to use
'disk-by-label/disk-by-uuid' *should* do the trick.
I still think that the disk you mount off should get /dev/sda already,
but since I don't have this setup I can't confirm.
In this case, there is only one disk, which gets recognized as /dev/sda,

Also, can you please tell us if your disks are IDE or SATA?
