XG installation failed

I am trying to install XG home edition on a HP Prodesk 600 G2. It has a i5-6500, 8Gb RAM, BIOS set to Legacy only (UEFI disabled), dual, Intel based, PCIe network adapter.

Installation proceeds with creating partitions, installing firmware then prompting to remove the disk and press Y for reboot. After that it does not see the drive- BootDevice not found, error Hard Disk -(3F0).

I tried to install, to no avail, from a USB via Rufus and via Balena Etcher, then right of a CD. I used a SSD then a platter HDD. Windows and pfsense install just fine.

It also works when installing on a older HP Z800 workstation, with dual Zeon processor and dual built-in network adapter.

Anything I may have missed? I have been reading lots of posts on this matter, but nothing worked in my case.

Thank you.

Adrian

What is the disk type you are trying to install to?

One is a SanDisk SSD, the other one is a WD platter disk. I can get the exact model numbers when I get back, if that helps. Thank you.

Hello,

maybe it doesn't like the harddisk controller on that board. I searched the HP datasheet, but I couldn't find an info about the type.
