Don't use a separate boot partition. Grub should be at the beginning of the first partition on the disk. The message is just a prompt for windows rescue media because your computer can't find the disk. It's been my experience that if you try to use a separate boot partition on some computers, even with legacy mode enabled, the BIOS will not find the disk. This is because the UEFI loader is still the default whether or not you enable legacy mode; legacy is just an added feature; thus the system looks for Windows disks first; thus the prompt, because Windows defaults to the media channel when disks are unavailable. There are tricks to get around this, not too difficult, but since you have already succeeded I won't go through them.TC
If you are only going to boot LL, I would suggest just regular MSDOS partition option, not sure if GPT really gives you anything.?The only time I have seen that message was on 1 install when for whatever reason the BIOS boot disk order got messed up.If you are not even seeing the SSD in the BIOS, check the SATA/Power cables.Also check for a possible BIOS update on the MOBO/PC website.
