Since the machine boots normally when you select P0 then why not just use ASUS UFEI Bios Utility to set that as default? Since the new drive has a filesystem, I'd say you did more than just install it? Drive/Boot order is nothing to take lightly, if you set grub to depend on it, then you can't rearrange drives without causing an issue. If you are going to remove that drive, then you don't want to boot from it as a permanent solution. You will need to migrate the bootloader off this drive altogether. Do some reading first, multi boot is extensively well represented topic on the interwebs. Good Luck
