Make sure the computer's boot process is configured to the correct mode
-- UEFI or BIOS (sometimes called ‘Legacy mode’).  Which of the two
you want depend on what exactly you are doing.

What dou you mean with ‘doesn't get recognised by the bios on boot’ --
what exactly does the boot process say?

About ‘grub-efi wouldn't get installed’ -- this is rather vague, do you
have some kind of error message or something?

Also, it would be useful to see the actual system configuration
(the (operating-system [...])).

Greetings,
Maxime.
