I wrecked my ubuntu with xfce 16.04 trying to go to 16.10. So instead I chose a UEFI install / upgrade from bootable USB. Hah I bet you didn't expect anyone that stupid.

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the 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.
