This time, I was able to disable UEFI, but then discovered that the disk was formatted with GPT, and that caused problems for the installer. The media isn't the problem since it passed both the burn check and the install check, and seems to work fine otherwise. I'm not sure why UEFI would have had problems with pre-existing ext4 partitions on a GPT formatted disk, but it does and refuses to proceed. I'll keep plugging away.
