Hi all.

As the title states, my system is an MSI GL62-6QF, an 893 to be specific.

Am running into a situation where I can get the 2016.2 Live USB to run fine, but if I install to my external SSD (SanDisk SDSSDA-120G)
the system does not recognize there being a drive with an OS on it.

Have UEFI/bios option set at UEFI with CSM, secure boot is disabled.

The only linux distribution that I can get up and running is Fedora 24 xfce.
both Ubuntu Live CDs and USBs stall and don't go anywhere.

I have read around a bit, hearing something about issues arising with Skylake, but I have not found anything closely related to the issue I am having.
Most of the forum threads relate to dual booting.

Any help would be greatly appreciated
