If you remove drives most/all UEFI implementations forget the entry associated with that drive. Reinstall your bootloader and/or set it up in the fallback path: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Unifie … ble_drives

so with an arch live USB i chroot in to my install and run "sudo grub-mkconfig -o /boot/grub/grub.cfg" ?

No, you run the install command: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/GRUB#Installation_2 (note the green tipbox as well)
