[Bug 1705355] Re: I wrecked my ubuntu with xfce 16.04 trying to go to 16.10. So instead I chose a UEFI install / upgrade from bootable USB. Hah I bet you didn't expect anyone that stupid.

[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.
