I installed it from the Calamaries Installer found in the LIVE USB ISO this time. And Instead of my primary hdd, I installed it on the other one. Works now, thanks for all of your support, dear nerds.

Interesting. Looks like perhaps your boot loader isn't properly pointing at your root partition.

I'm assuming you've just done the install and never successfully booted, yes? In that case, you can try to re-run the installer, or try rescue mode and try repairing the bootloader.

Are you doing dual-booting, or is this system dedicated to Linux?

Yes, I have not been able to successfully boot yet. I have already rerun the installer and tried every solution I could find online in rescue mode. Tried repairing grub too.

No, I am not dual-booting.

Were you able to get this fixed? Have you changed boot settings like uefi and secure boot in your bios?

Yeah I just gave up on my primary and installed it on my secondary disk. My problem is gone now.
