Finally!
(I had to disable backup before I could reboot.)
This is very exciting!
Booting from hard disk ... success!!! Thank you!

I usually install to hard disk but, for my use cases, I haven't really found much of a performance boot by using an hdd over a USB stick (even a USB 2.0 stick).  I think so much just takes place in RAM that the storage media just doesn't matter all that much.  (I'm currently running from a USB3-connected HDD and it's just fine.)

Onktebong:
Point taken.
In this old laptop, the HDD is there and a USB stick tends to, erm, sticks out.

Not necessarily. This 8 Gbyte unit has a pretty small profile:

Yeah.  To me that's a big factor as I've had at least one USB stick ruined because it stuck out and got caught on something.
