Have you set the BIOS to boot from USB? If you have, it should boot whether or not it recognizes the drive. If in doubt, unplug the drive, boot from USB, install the OS from USB, and then add the drive. Therwol’s suggestion could also be correct - GPT is fairly recent, and a BIOS looking for MBR won’t “understand” GPT/UEFI
It boots with the USB drive if I have no HDD or I have the 500GB HDD installed. With the 1TB HDD it hang during loading the BIOS. The controller BIOS recognize the drive model number but it hangs there.
With the 500GB drive it would display the HDD number as drive 1 and then the CD/DVD drive as drive 2 and then it goes to boot. With the 1TB drive it just display the 1TB drive number as drive 1 then hangs. It doesn't display the CD/DVD drive and thus no booting.
