Dual Boot Linux Lite and Windows 8

[gold_finger]

Yes I have Ubuntu installed(linuxmint) in uefi mode, no issues at all.
when i boot from the usb, i get a prompt in left top corner, just blinks. let it go overnight, no change. i choose "sandisk" and it just re-boots.
when i boot from the dvd i get "machine error" in large font. then it just re-boots itself, but never gets into
the boot menu, just hangs. cant get into bios. the funny thing is that if i push the eject button on the dvd it starts to boot up and works fine.
Any ideas ?

Sorry -- I'm stumped.  Don't know what the problem might be.  You may have to wait a bit longer until LL supports UEFI installations before you can install to that laptop.  (Not sure when that will be.  Maybe the next version?)
