I got chance to look at this again.
No of that seamed to work.
I found an old Windows boot USB and that boots, so it is not the usb boot system.
I created a new USB drive with the latest OI and I still get the same issue.
May be I am using the Win32DiskImager wrong or there is an issue creating the bootable USB drive.
Is anyone else attually doing this from Windows?

in your case, the problem starts from the  fact that we do not get information about partitions, on screenshot, all disks are listed without partitioning information.

We would like to see something like:

disk0:    BIOS drive C (….)
   disk0p1:  EFI        256MB
   disk0p2: ….

and so on. I’m not really sure what did happen while usb image was written to the stick, but something seems to be wrong there. Does windows see any partitions there?

I had put in an old disk that had been used as a raid for the boot drive. It was not formated. I found another and it now shows that as disk1 D with a two windows paritions.

It must be booting, from the usb, as without the OI usb tumbdrive it says there is no bootable disk.

As I seam to have something else coming up as disk0 C - there must be another M2 like drive which is has placed as C.

I wonder if the USB boot assumes it is the second disk?

So assuming that the M2 should be there only with the USB, I took out the phyical drive. It does the same. So that is not it.

May be later I will try taking out the M2 as well.

Thanks.
