Dual Boot Linux Lite and Windows 8

[gold_finger]

Well, after some research I found several posts in Ubuntu and Fedora forums with people having
the exact same issue, NONE resolved ! I have spent several hours on this.......

I just can't spend any more time on this.

Last few ideas:

• Believe it or not, I've seen times where the brand of DVD makes a difference on certain computers.  If possible, try a different brand DVD.
  
• If you haven't already done so, try a live USB instead.  Sometimes computer will have problem booting one medium, but will boot the other.
  
• Check to see if there is an update for the UEFI firmware on the Asus website.  Sounds to me like their implementation of UEFI firmware is the main cause of the problem.  Most other computer brands don't have this kind of problem booting something in Legacy mode from what I've seen.  Maybe an update came out that will fix the boot problem.
  
• If all else fails, call Asus tech support.  If they can't/won't help, tell them you'll never buy their brand again.
  

Honestly, I'm a bit surprised by this from Asus.  Company has a generally good reputation with their computers and parts.  Will certainly make me think twice about buying their components anymore.
