Incorrect Linux partition layout?
I want to install Ubuntu with the only system, because of this I demolished Windows. Now I'm trying to put ubuntu on a bare disk with the following partitions: / , swap, home. As a result, errors like this appear: The partition table format in use on your disks normally requires you to create a separate partition for boot loader code. This partition should be marked for use as “Reserved BIOS boot area” and should be at least 1 MB in size. Note that this is not the same as a partition mounted on /boot.
I am completely green in terms of Linux and do not know what partitions to create for bare Ubuntu without Windows second OS. I have BIOS on my computer, not UEFI.

just go to the console and run
; echo -e "label:dos\nstart=1M,bootable" | sudo sfdisk /dev/sdX
; lsblk
Select "Automatically Partition and Use Entire Disk" during installation.
He will arrange the necessary boot-flags for you, and the root partition will normally install.
Also there should be an option "Separate partition for /home".
And so, in general, if you are interested:
Create a partition "/" with the boot flag and fs ext4, a partition "/ home" without flags with the ext4 file system, and a couple of gigs for swap with the swap file system
