Is it possible to somehow find the disk when installing centos 8?

Question

linux

I need to install centos8 on a rather old computer, and there is a dilemma: There are 2 boot files - one is about 700 MB, the computer sees it, but does not see the ssd during installation, but there is a file that weighs 9 GB, but the computer does not see it anymore, it just skips it during boot, if you try to force boot through a USB flash drive, then he does not see the boot file.
