Is the problem that it does not boot when the HDD is installed to the PC? If so, my guess would be that when you installed Ubuntu to the HDD, it installed GRUB to an existing internal HDD. Thus, you would NOT have GRUB on the HDD -- which you need to boot.
Usually, you just stick in an Ubuntu CD and restore GRUB from that, but since your PC doesn't have a CD drive, you would have to do this from an Ubuntu Live USB.
Ubuntu 20.04, Mint 19.10; MS Win10 Pro.
Will not respond to PM requests for support -- use the forums.
