Bug Description
None of the above are exactly my situation. Also, I'm a complete nooband don't understand most of the comments I've seen on the support site. I'm hoping for a simple step-by-step solution.
Ubuntu has installed and seem to run flawlessly as long as the installation USB stick is plugged in, but the computer will not boot and start Ubuntu without it.

Your disk is currently partitioned to boot in bios mode, but you booted the installer in EFI mode. You either need to boot the installer in bios mode, 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.
