Ubuntu/Windows Boot Manager Issue
Okay....Ubuntu 18.4/Windows 10 (latest)
Today I decided to use my extra HDD to run Ubuntu. I have a 1TB 970 EVO NVMe for Windows 10 and a spare 1TB HDD.
I format the spare 1TB HDD
I used an already setup thumb drive using rufus to load up Ubuntu.
I choose the install along side Windows, but I choose the HDD and in no way partitioned space on my NVMe for Ubuntu.
Everything loads up fine, updates, restarts, etc.
Then I got to get back into Windows and on the grub menu it shows that I have TWO Windows Boot Manager options. One on my NVMe drive and the other on the HDD, and selecting either Windows Boot option throws me in a recovery/diagnostic mode where it tells me it can do neither.
In order to get back into Windows I have to change the boot order in BIOS of the NVMe Windows over Ubuntu or Override boot up, but then I don't get to choose Ubuntu.
Why can I override boot my Windows Boot Manager on the NVMe in BIOS and Windows 10 loads fine, but the same done in grub throws and Windows 10 throws a fit. Do I need the Windows Boot Manager on the HDD? How do I get rid of the Boot Manager on the HDD and put the Ubuntu one there instead?

Try installing rEFInd on whatever OS and see if it can detect all your bootloaders. Make sure your HDD is plugged in while you install it.

Also maybe try update-grub and then grub install onto the main HDD. The Ubuntu installer might have found the recovery partition only. sudo update-grub and sudo grub-install. Report back if it helped.
