I have installed Ubuntu 16.04.03 from a DVD via a USB CD/DVD drive onto my Toshiba Satellite U920T laptop, erasing the Windows 8 that was on there. The installation went fine and as requested I removed the DVD at the end of the process.

However, when the computer restarts the following message comes up

Insert system disk in drive.
Press any key when ready..

I have looked in the Bios and the computer is set to start on the SSD/HDD. Putting the DVD back into the DVD drive allows me to repeat the installation process, which I have done with the same result. Pressing F12 while starting the computer and selecting the SSD/HDD brings me back to the Insert system... message.

The boot log is at http://paste.ubuntu.com/25748557/ This is the log after creating the NTFS partition suggested below and reinstalling Ubuntu.

I would be grateful for any help.

I had a Toshiba Satalite C55-B series computer that gave the same error.
It required a system recovery partition to be first on the HDD, and the UEFI partition to be second.
It can be empty but had to be there.

Create a 1 GB partition formatted NTFS. Then, use the remaining space to install ubuntu.

Note: if your EFI firmware does not have OS boot options, you have to move and rename grub's file in the EFI partition.
/EFI/ubuntu/grubx64.efi has to be copied to /EFI/boot/ and renamed to bootx64.efi.
