   Does it just find "the disk", or does it present it as EFI-bootable option?

   For being EFI-bootable, the installation will need an EFI-partition with boot   
   loader. Your description said your EFI partition was empty (no bootlader).   
   This will not be recognised as bootable by the BIOS (of course).Maybe it was   
   booting legacy before, and you changed the BIOS setting to EFI only?
