Re: Can't install Mint on my laptop
There have been problems with some Asus chipsets and Linux. Do you know what chipset this machine has?

Re: Can't install Mint on my laptop
You may try upgrading the BIOS. It will probably improve your chance in installing Mint on your laptop.
I tried similar attempt with an AMD machine back then, and it did show a little improvement. I couldn't get the installer to run at all before the upgrade, and could afterwards but got stuck at step 2/7.
One thing for sure, it won't bring you any harm.
Edit: Have you tried the XFCE version? The problem I explained above occured when I tried the Main version. The XFCE one installs and runs smoothly on the AMD machine.
