When I try to boot from my arch SSD (HP ProBook 4740s laptop), I get an operating system not found error. The os boots normally on my PC and this problem seems to only occur with arch, windows boots normally. I've tried all combinations of Legacy/Hybrid/UEFI and IDE/AHCI, secure boot always disabled. Using one of the bios options I can see the arch drive has a grub/i386 directory.
#Cannot boot arch from internal drive, only USB to SATA bridge

reinstall arch. the right config is UEFI only, AHCI
grub should not be i386
be sure to do the right mounting points

hi, have you checked /etc/fstab? maybe you have some removable media in there. when you use common dev names like /dev/sda1 instead of /dev/disk/by-path/SOMETHING they tend to get messed up as the names do not persist across reboots, so grub tries to boot up from the wrong partition.
