My system keeps booting into an install instead of the encrypted disk. [FIXED]
My system keeps booting into an install instead of the encrypted disk. [FIXED]
My system keeps booting into the live image of Pop!_OS 22.04 rather than my encrypted partition. I ran boot-repair-disk but the system keeps going to the install image. I verified that the bios is pointing to the correct disk at boot and I verified that my data is still in the encrypted partition.
Any help would be appreciated.

EDIT: I found the fix. I was able to dig out a System76 article that fixed me right up. See below.
How did you install? Why is the install image still around to even be able to boot?
The system has been running for years. It was originally a 20.04 which I upgraded to 22.04. I suspect that the "install image" is the recovery partition being booted.

~~Doesn't it even tell you to unplug your Install medium.
Just unplug your USB drive and boot.
(I don't want to sound too obvious, but at least do it first and tell me if it was really the only issue)~~
EDIT: I read in a comment that you did an upgrade.
The upgrade was about six months ago
Boot into the live image and check your disks and boot partitions. If nothing looks off there, try and force your Bios to boot from the install disk directly. If still not helpful, you may need to chroot from the live image and update/repair grub to make sure it's loading properly. Lots of guides on how to do this out there if you're unfamiliar.
I assume Pop!_OS shows the Systemd-boot selection at boot. If so, is it possible to switch which partition to boot to?
