I have Ubuntu 22.04 running on a HP ProBook 4540s. Originally I started it way back on 18.04 and upgraded it twice (to 20.04 then to 22.04)


I got a new hard drive and I decided to start from scratch by installing 22.04.03 using the iso and a bootable usb. The live USB worked and then I got it to install. But on booting from the new hard drive, I got an error (BootDevice not found). Using gparted on the live usb, I can see the installation on the new hard drive as /dev/sda1 grub2core.img 1 MB, /dev sda2 EFI system partition, and /dev/sda3 is ubuntu 22.04. This isn't what I expected though as I thought the install was simply on /dev/sda1.


Strange thing is when I installed Lubuntu 22.04.03 instead using the live usb, Lubuntu booted properly and was installed on /dev/sda1 as expected.


I would rather be using Ubuntu than Lubuntu. Could anyone help me on how to get Ubuntu 22.04.03 to boot?
