Did you install it using an usb iso? or the cd?

Unsure what power supply to pick?

It might be booting off the iso instead of your drive. You can change that in boot priorities in your bios.

A black screen comes whoch says insert boot midea and press a key

That's weird. Something might be wrong with your hard drive if it keeps looping like that. I don't have enough experience to recommend anything else. You might wanna repost the topic under troubleshooting.

Please don't suggest crossposting. If anythin , mod can move this if its needed.

 

As for issue. Make sure its not minor hw issue by re-checking cables. Its not likely to be completely dead drive either since you can select it as install location. But its possible that dtive has faults or USB is corrupted. Or both.
