Failing to install Mint 18.2

Somebody knowing this UEFI stuff?

Wanting to boot via stick with 18.2 on it, it instead all launched in the fresh 17.2 installation. Rebooting again and hitting F2 to enter UEFI, I then navigated to Path for boot option and there get a window:

"Select a file to boot
<.disk>
<boot>
<casper>
<dists>
<EFI>
<isolinux>
<pool>
<preseed>

Which one? What are these?

The HD is still amiss so far, btw, only the SSD with the bi89nstallationj of 17.2 is obviously there.

Its beyond me in how far this UEFI should be an improvement over BIOS. BIOS recognised changed or new drives all by itself.
