dual dooting on win10 and mint [noob]

Post by twistedohm »

Good day,

Sorry for asking but I want to learn Linuxmint and I want to dual boot on my win10 along side linuxmint but when ever I try to install or boot on my USB drive that I've made bootable by rufus 2.6 it doesn't show the "install linuxmint" it just shows "Start linuxmint" and "Start Linuxmint(compatibility mode) and check components. then when ever I select one of them, I think my GPU stop working or what since in my monitor shows DVI no signal but my rig is still on. please help me solve this thanks in advance!

Instead of Rufus, try using Universal USB Installer http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal- ... -as-1-2-3/

I ran into a similar problem and this was my solution. When you run the installer, it will ask what type of Linux distro you want, a path to the ISO, and so forth. For the Linux distro type, pick "other OS" at the very bottom. This worked for me. Good luck.
