My Pc isn’t booting with a HDD with Linux installed on it.

I have a Dell PC which works fine with a Windows 10 HDD but I wanted to use a Linux software for my PC, I put the files required to install the Linux (ubuntu) onto a usb flash drive. I removed the Windows HDD, installed a clean formatted hard drive into my pc, plugged in the USB flash drive back into my pc and then turned the PC on, I managed to install it with only 1 error which said “input/output error during write on dev/sdg” I pressed ignore and continued with the download. It then asked me to reboot the pc to get it working properly and it was working fine. I removed the usb flash drive and restarted my pc again and it booted with the Linux OS again smoothly. I shut the computer down just to check if everything was working properly but then when I turned my pc back on it gave me a messagaes saying “no bootable device found.” I hadn’t unplugged the HDD or even touched it and my PC cannot find it. If I put my windows 10 HDD into my pc it works fine but the HDD with Ubuntu (Linux) does not boot. How do I get my pc to boot with the Linux HDD smoothly?

Plug your installation USB stick back into the computer with the Ubuntu hard drive installed and then update grub.

How do I install and run boot repair or update the grub?

Thank you very much for your help but I used a different HDD and it worked perfectly so the old HDD must have had an issue
