Ubuntu 22.04.2 installs on a different drive than the one I select

bs flag

Update: after trying to reinstall Ubuntu on the SATA, Windows now boots normally. Both OS's appear to be running on the NVMe drive though. This is just getting even weirder.

I am having a strange issue for which I haven't found any previous threads. I have a new computer (AMD Ryzen 7 5800H) with an SSD NVMe drive that shipped with Windows 11. I installed an SSD SATA drive on which I wanted to install Ubuntu. I did not initialize the SATA on Windows, though it was detected fine by the system and Samsung Magician.

The Ubuntu installation appeared to have gone well. As per a tutorial, I selected "Erase disk and install Ubuntu" (I feel this may have been the error). Ubuntu installer detected the SATA drive, which I selected for install.

For some reason, it installed on the NVMe drive (which I know because in boot options it indicates it's installed there). There is no option to boot from the SATA drive. Not only that but Windows is not completely wiped. I can boot windows, get to the login but after entering my password I get a black screen. From there I can still Ctrl+Alt+Del and open task manager, shut down, etc.

I've tried reinstalling, and it still doesn't install to the SATA drive. Not sure what to do at this point, any help would be really appreciated.

I sit in a Tesla and translated this thread with Ai:

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.
