Bug Description

I am trying to reinstall Ubuntu 16.04 after a failure upgrade
Disk has a dedicated partition mounted to / and partition for home
Current installation use traditional Bios becasue I used to have a dual boot set up.
During installation a decided to remove it and set up a EUFI boot.

Installation has failed, but it is not clear where the problem is, including the fact that I am using an intel Pentium G849 2.8 Ghz

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the 16.04 installer in EFI mode. A warning message prompted you that this could be a problem and recommended performing a bios mode install instead, but you chose not to. You either need to perform the bios mode install, or partition the disk using GPT and set up an EFI system partition to install in EFI mode. This will be done for you if you choose the "use entire disk" guided install option.
