1Most new UEFI systems have a UEFI setting to disable a drive. So you do not have to physically disconnect a drive. Standard install to second drive with Ubuntu's Ubiquity installer puts grub boot files into first drive's ESP, usually Windows' ESP. And that does work unless you must boot the second drive if external. Posted work around to manually unmount & mount correct ESP during install #23 & #26 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1396379 Ubiquity wrong bootloader location for USB/sdb UEFI installs https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+bug/1173457 – oldfred Apr 06 '20 at 16:10
