[Bug 1722568] Re: Cannot do fresh install on a HP Zbook

[Jacob Nordfalk]

It was a HP ZBook 15 G3 with 2 internal SSDs (one that looks like a disk, the other looks more like a RAM chip), both formatted to old style MSDOS partition table/BIOS/MBR boot.
I booted from the live CD with UEFI and wanted to install on some free space but without formatting the disks

I removed the disk looking like a disk (thus only keeping the one that
looked more like a RAM chip) and reformatted the while disk to Partition
Table: gpt

and could install in that way.
