welp, not entirely sure what fixed it but after looking at my motherboard’s boot menu again this morning i realized the eos drive was there, and i could finally boot into it. and after changing some bios settings, my pc now properly boots into grub as it should. thank you to everyone for putting up with me, in case it wasn’t obvious i’ve never had to deal with anything like this before, and hopefully i won’t have to again
