Perhaps there is an entry, or a missing entry, in grubs configuration file.  
Have you tried to use /dev/sda2 instead of the UUID in /etc/fstab?

Do you know if the other drive does work?  I have seen an SSD that had failed 
and when installed into another machine to see just if it might work, the 
computer wouldn't boot at all.
