Ubuntu Server Install Issues

[Furball159.]

Hello,

i need urgent help with this, No matter how hard I try to install Ubuntu Server 22.04.3 LTS on my Lenovo ThinkCentre M72e Tiny it always ends in the same result, after about 30 attempts i have given up, I get to the point of rebooting without issues but after that the system starts into network boot mode, and then throws Error No Operating System Found.

I have ensure that the install media was removed, I switch from Legacy To UEFI (and back) I tried different SATA modes, but to no avail, I tried using a diffrent USB installer, I tried not using Ventoy, I tried everything, even Different ISO's (From Ubuntu Directly) and still the same result, No Operating System Found, I really didn't expect to run into this as a issue but now it has completly stalled my progress on my home lab setup, any ideas. I did try to update the bios considering its still on the 2012 release of it not the newest 2012, but people said it wouldn't make a diffrence and it kept erroring out and i don't want to brick it, so if someone knows how to flash via usb without anything internal to boot of like windows, i would aprricate knowing that as a final resort. Any help is appricated.

what disk are you trying to install on?

I installed Ubuntu server on a Lenovo Think centre M700 (not sure of the differences between you model and mine) and it worked without issue. I downloaded the official ISO from the Ubuntu website and used Balena etcher to make a bootable USB and didn't have to change any BIOS settings. You could try resetting the BIOS to defaults and giving Belena a try, it usually works for me haven't had many issues with it in the past.

Yeah, I did assume both those things but neither of those worked
