I have read several threads on this issue, but nothing helps me
BG: I 'inherited' an older XC605 with Win8 installed. I replaced the harddisk (as there may be a need to go back to the Win install, which I btw don't have a login to) when I return the server some day...
I can boot ubuntu-20 live/install disk and install ubuntu (server) on the (new) HD just fine
However when it comes to boot the server, I only get this
a) a beep
A few flickering cursor lines and then
Reboot and Select proper Boot Device
or Insert Boot Media in selected device and press a key

Without access to Windows (and no Windows install media) how
can I get past this?
The Ubuntu install disk (even though its name has live in the filename) that I burned does not seem to offer any live mode either
