Hello,
I installed ubuntu onto a new HDD with a usb stick (because this laptop doesnt have a disk drive), and after it finished installing, it tells me to restart, and then brings me back to the same grub menu of testing ubuntu or installing it or checking the disk for defects. I turned the computer off, and took out the usb stick, and powered it back on, only to be met with the message that "bootdevice not found" and "please install an operating system on your hard disk". I start it up again with the usb stick inserted and "test" ubuntu and the HDD has a bunch of files and folders on it, which I assume is the ubuntu installation. I ran boot-repair and it said it was successful, but it didnt change anything. I messed around in the bios to change the boot order and it didnt really do much. Ive been searching online for the past few hours trying to figure out what to do, but nothing has worked. I would appreciate any help.
(the computer is an hp 645 g1 laptop with a brand new western digital HDD 500g capacity)
