Did you assign the correct device names as boot drive?
Boot back with the live cd. Find the drive first with lsblk /dev/DRIVENAME usually sda or sdb. mount the drive and your home.
Change root back to your /mnt (the original installation) with chroot.
Now make sure you set the boot device to the correct drive with

It seems super customizable, having however a more complex setup though.
