  i'm not following closely but perhaps there is already a 
bootable partition on that drive so it won't set it for another?

  if you are having trouble with grub and using UEFI i'd change
to refind.  efibootmgr then lets me do what i need to do for
selecting which one to boot.  i also include with grub because
i have it installed a custom menu entry that lets me boot with
refind instead just in case an update comes through in grub 
which screws up my system.
