You¹re not.  I¹ve encountered this same issue, and on investigation, some
machines were coming out of the factory with odd drive formats.  That¹s why
I suggested the diskutil preflight script.  It¹s what I used to solve the
problem.

>The Erase HD option in CASPER does not seem to be sufficient, but if we use
DISK Utility they go. What is the difference?

The difference between Casper and Disk Utility is that Casper erases an
existing partition (like the ³Erase² tab in Disk Utility).  With diskutil,
you can repartition, creating the correct partition setup (like the
³Partition tab in Disk Utility).

I hope this helps.
