Unable to load into installed linuxmint os

[Reupload :- My earlier thread disappeared while adding boot-info as text. So reuploading this question
I currently have Windows and Arch Linux installed on a drive with a GPT partition and grub. I am now trying to install Linux Mint alongside these two.
I am installing Mint on a second HDD (same PC) with an MBR partition and I am having trouble running the installed OS. I have tried adding itinot together, but in different triesito both EFI (one in the GPT partition and one in the MBR partition) and both are giving errors.
The errors are "load kernel first, msdos not found". I will try to attach a screenshot. It comes at startup when I try to boot Linux Mint from grub.
I have tried everything. I can't format the entire second disk to GPT since I have data in other partitions of the disk. Any help would be appreciated.
I have tried changing boot to legacy, it also didn't work.
There seems to be a tool, mbr2gpt but I can't get it to work. I have no OS other than Linux Mint (installing) in the second HDD.
I don't know if its gpt issue or something else. Ubuntu also seems to have issue. It said some error like not authorized to access grub in gpt.
I have tried to install grub in mbr but it seems to overwrite grub with gpt and I couldn't login to arch.
This is the error on selecting linuxmint from grub
I have also attached the boot-info in attachments
