Installation of XG Firewall OS on a new PC

Question

Hello, 
 until now Iam using Sophos XG Firewall on an ESXI server. 
 
 After some discussions of "is it safe in a VM" i want to install it on a physical "Server". It is an Intel J3160 Board (4*1,6Ghz and 8 Gb RAM). 
 
 But i've got a very big problem while installing the OS. It seems to me the that the OS can not initial my disk. It is a 320GB Harddisk. 
 
 When I start the Installation with the File: SW-SFOS_17.0.3_MR-3-131 he says to me that I have installed a 320Gb HDD. But when i Start the installation the setup stops at: "Signature Partitions". 
 
 Someone got an Idea, how I can solve the problem ? 
 
 Thanks a lot.

 Hey, 
 there was an installation of PfSense on this HDD. 
 I tried to remove everything with gparted first. But later i Can try it with an Windows. What kind of Filesystem should I use? 
 Fat32 // NTFS ? 
 Thanks 
 
 Mario, 
 When in doubt, repartition your drive as one full partition, and format it in Fat 32. The XG installer will repartition and reformat it if necessary. 
 You may also have to make a change in BIOS to boot the hard drive as a standard HDD/SSD and not as mSATA. My Zbox CI325 Nano refused to install until I figure out to change this. 
 If this is the issue, the fix will be specific to your individual firewall computer. You didn't say what you have, do I can't help you any further. Is this a firewall appliance from Netgate/PfSense, or did you purchase your own? What model is it?
