I brought an HP Z2 G9 from the HP store with Windows preinstalled on
it... it was much cheaper than a customized linux ready version.

The UEFI does not has a classic version and the boot rom has been set to
turn off secure boot and to boot from the USB.  It can see the USB
device but it will not boot into the installation boot loader.  It just
stares back at me with a blank screen.

I am looking for suggestions.  The thing comes with something called the
Wolf Security system that shows up on the boot screen when it powers up.
 I have turned off everything the UEFI boot rom that I see that might be
causing a problem.
