Grub recovery shell right after installing Ubuntu 20.04 LTS on new drive alongside other drive with Windows 10 and VeraCrypt full system encryption

I installed Ubuntu 20.04LTS on a completely new drive (/dev/sdb) alongside Windows 10 with VeraCrypt, which is on /dev/sda. While installing I created a swap and an ext4 partition. The installation finished without problems and after rebooting I dropped into a grub recovery shell.

After that I tried to find the boot image using ls (hddx,x) but to no success. To make sifting through the drives easier I detatched the drive with windows. After rebooting only the bios opened and in the boot list there were still ubuntu and veracrypt. Which is wierd because I detatched the drive with VeraCrypt. Also after changing the boot order, my bios tells me that apparently I haven't made any changes to save. After "saving" and rebooting I'm back to the old bios configuration.

I then tried to detatch all drives but my bios still showed me ubuntu and VeraCrypt as my two boot options.

I also tried to reinstall ubuntu using the full disk in case I somehow messed up during partitioning but to no success. I did this the second time without the windows drive connected so there shouldn't be any interferances. Also while reinstalling ubuntu the installer found the first installation on /dev/sdb.

Booting from VeraCrypt still works. My mainboard is ASUS Z87 Expert with UEFI bios.

Thanks in advance for helping me!

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
