@TheShipwright -

Did you resolve the issue with installing Ubuntu and not being able to boot.
It sounds like you didn't wipe the entire disk prior to installing?

No. I've gone round in circles not really getting anywhere.

The Lubuntu install on the original HDD was a Legacy install. The SDD was brand new. I've used gpart to wipe it a few time now.

A couple of things I've noticed are;

1. In bios the SDD doesn't show as an SDD - just a HD. Although on the summary info screen when loading it does show the correct make/model of SSD.
   
2. When I looked at the flags in gpart after trying yet another default install as well as a "boot" flag there was an "esp" flag. However removing it didn't seem to make a difference.
