Maybe I found out the issues.... found this elsewhere

"Anyway the Asus BIOS has a bug in it (according to Asus can't remember my source currently) But it basically means it won't boot from a gpt partition, and only from a mbr."

Hello, in recent 10.x versions the legacy MBR install options has been removed from the installer, though the original code is still present in the install.inc and can be invoked still if needed, however I will post simple workaround that may could help also.

EDIT:
As for revision 2993 the installer menu has been improved and legacy MBR options restored, also the Embedded/Full installer options has been grouped to avoid main installer menu clutter.
