Hello,
I've decided to go and get into linux (other then a VM, i already have a few of those), but don't want to give up my entire windows installation, so naturally i decided to dual boot (i have dual booted a few pc's before, although not with linux, but it can't be that different, cant it?) now ATM i can't afford to go and buy a new blank DVD, but i do have a 4GB Flash Drive that i can use, so naturally i went to the linux mint website (my distro of choice) to see how to "burn" it into a bootable mint flash drive, so i now have my bootable flash drive, however my pc doesn't see it as bootable at all (i've tried normal mode, and enabling Legacy Mode)
my HDD is formatted in a GPT partition, and it's NOT an option to change it to MBR, so don't suggest that
any suggestions on how i can get linux mint to be detected as bootable? (my Motherboard should support UEFI, at least i'm mostly certain it does)
