Thanks Matt,

I followed your instructions and the Internal Hard Drive is listed first. Does that mean my internal drive is toast and maybe the reason it froze in the first place?

When the USB with LibreElec installer is plugged in, it will run and I can use Kodi. I don't know how to get it to install on the internal hard drive. 

  
if the installer is able to install to the internal SSD, and that completes successfully, I don't see any reason to suspect an issue with the internal drive.

I haven't done a clean install in ages, let me try that here and see if I can reproduce the issue

Edit: just did a clean firmware flash + LibreELEC install on a Haswell Chromebox, and only issue was a hiccup on the first reboot where it still tried to boot the (now removed) USB.  What happens when you select the internal Hard Disk from the Boot Manager menu?
