[Bug 1748879] Re: UEFI issue, installer thinks board is uefi, but it is not

[Phillip Susi]

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted
the installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this
could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install
instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode
install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system
partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you
choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.

Title:
  UEFI issue, installer thinks board is uefi, but it is not

Status in grub-installer package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  This msi board has  a bios that the installer thinks is a uefi bios,
  but it is not a uefi bios, so the installer tries to install uefi  and
  it can not so the install fails. There is no option to select any
  other install, like a non uefi grub legacy install.

  In the past, I posted to linux forums and finally found something
  about turning off 2.2tb infinity drive setting in the bios.
