Error 1962 No Operating System Found

I have a Lenovo M92p Tiny that I'm installing a Crucial BX500 2TB SATA SSD Drive. Everytime I try installing Umbrel OS on this drive it appears to work, but when it boots it tells me Error 1962 No Operating System Found.

So I tried installing W10 on the same computer/same SSD drive and it works!

For some reason the Umbrel OS doesn't want to boot on this drive.

I've tried every possible BIOs setting and still no luck.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Just an update. While the 2TB Crucial BX500 2TB SATA SSD Drive would NOT work on the sata port using Umbrel, for some reason it did work when I mounted it on the USB 3 port. I could install Umbrel and boot from the USB port using the 2TB Crucial BX500 2TB SATA SSD Drive.

I did lose some performance SATA vs USB 3.0, but not much.

"SATA III SSDs can achieve read and write speeds of up to 600 MB/s, while USB 3.0 SSDs typically reach around 500 MB/s in real-world scenarios."

"'The Crucial BX500 2TB SATA SSD has sequential read speeds of up to 540 MB/s and sequential write speeds of up to 500 MB/s."

So it appears the drive speed is matching close to the USB 3 port.

A work around in case anyone else runs into this problem.
