Which disk did you install to? Have you tried booting without the Mellanox card?

I installed to a 16gb SanDisk USB. And not tried to install without Mellanox card thanks

OK, try a different boot disk. A USB thumb drive isn't reliable, and yours probably failed during the install. A small SSD would be both faster and more reliable than a thumb drive. You can find SSDs under 100G capacity for around $20 on Amazon.

Will a 320gb laptop HDD be OK?

tried a 500gb laptop hdd and a 1tb hdd both do the same thing with error on post 1.

It's probably choking on the multi-card reader. These are usually connected via USB; try disconnecting it physically.
