OS not booting from secondary hard disk

Recently I replaced my Optical Drive with another Hard drive (so it is my secondary hard drive) on my laptop Dell Inspiron 15 3542.

Now I installed my Windows 10 on the primary hard drive and Ubuntu on the secondary hard drive. Windows boots but Ubuntu doesn’t.

I replaced my primary hard drive (which contains Windows 10) with the secondary Hard Drive (which contains Ubuntu) now Ubuntu booted successfully but Windows 10 won’t boot. I also tried to install Ubuntu on the secondary hard drive and boot files on primary hard drive but I corrupted Windows 10.

Which ever hard drive I put to the primary slot it boots, the other one doesn’t. I also tried turning on and off UFEI and Legacy settings in the BIOS but nothing working.

I want to keep my Windows 10 on the primary hard drive and Ubuntu on the secondary hard drive, how should I do it?
