Hello,
after my Sophos UTM broke down due to a failing hard disk i ordered a ssd drive for replacement. Further, i wanted to try the new XG Home Edition. The installation succeeded with no errors, but on the first boot the operating system couldn't boot "no bootable medium found"
so i removed the SSD from the system and checked the partition table:
from windows: nothing there
friom linux: nothing, too

As you can see, there are no partitions on the SSD.
After searching the forums i found some similar reports, which stated that the XG boots in another computer. so i replaced the drives from my notebook with the XG SSD. And it boots.
Question: Why is there no valid partition layout ? Why does it boot on some systems, while other systems get stuck with "no bootable medium found" ?
