    Mint 17.2 & Win 8 Dual-Boot

    I think I know what the problem is... Just as you said!!! Windows 8 Fast Boot is enabled so Mint 17.2 probably thinks the drive is mounted since Windows 8 is technically in "sleep mode"

    Mint 17.2 & Win 8 Dual-Boot

    Would it help to use GParted to format the drive, Install Win 8, then Install Mint, but create a /Boot partition?

    Need advice Distro needed, no gaming needed.

    Sadly yes, for games only. Since I have 6 computers for gaming and LAN parties, a lot of games we like run better in Windows. Everything else can be done solely in Mint. I gave up with Win8 64-bit because of GPT partition type. Linux 17.2 and 17.3 beta refused to see the partitions. I'm...
