I am trying to install Windows 8 from a flash drive on my laptop which is currently running Linux Mint 15. I am able to select the flash drive as the boot option in the BIOS but when I boot to it I am stuck on a black screen with a white blinking cursor forever.
I have tried various fixes I found googling the topic, changing a number of different BIOS settings, remaking the boot media on the flash drive, using a different flash drive etc. to no avail. I have tried creating the flash drive using the programs Windows USB, Rufus and manually copying the files, all giving the same result. The ISO I am using is downloaded directly from Microsoft.
Any suggestions on how to fix this problem would be great.
