Just a thought -- something you might want to think about...
Is as you're plugging/unplugging disks --- If both were plugged in together.. The /dev/sdX may be different.
i.e.
if the 500/136 was sda and the 160 is sdb its not necessarily going to boot... Or vice versa
Grub doesn't know where the bootloader resides...
You may wanna try, connecting the disk boot to a LiveUSB, once at the desktop launch terminal and run
it should scan and repopulate the OS's..
Not sure what was done with "boot repair disk" .... but maybe the above will help resolve....
I haven't tried with a clone.. but you "could" connect both disks and update grub - it should see both LL's
