Dual Boot Linux Lite and Windows 8

[Lend27]

I have finally got the dvd to boot and the USB, guess how ! 
I REMOVED THE INTERNAL HDD ! Yet upon booting again, no luck !
I keep getting "machine check error"

The UEFI partition on the HDD may be/is the cause of the issue. So i am going to delete the entirety of windows etc... from the HDD and re-purpose it for LinuxLite. Results-- NO GOOD, will not boot dvd or USB again.

Well, after some research I found several posts in Ubuntu and Fedora forums with people having
the exact same issue, NONE resolved ! I have spent several hours on this.......
The "machine check error" could be a GRUB or UEFI issue, or possibly memory being accessed outside
of the UEFI system policy. No actual reason found anywhere.
So after spending several hours on this, waiting for 2.4 and no luck, I give up until LinuxLite supports UEFI.
I just can't spend any more time on this. If someone has a fix please let me know.
Sooner or later UEFI must be supported, seriously guys. All new hardware is using UEFI not BIOS.
Please , Please, get UEFI setup next release..... :-\

I had the exact same issues on my 2 machines.
The only solution I found was to unplug all other drives from the machine, then boot from the install media.
On one of my machines I was able to install from the DVD. One the other machine I installed from the USB.
I also got several types of errors, but I persisted and now have 2 machines running LL 2.4.

We do need UEFI on LL.  I am dual booting on one machine with OSX Mavericks, but I have to boot into each through the bios. Grub wont work to dual boot.

On the other machine I am triple booting OSX Yosemite, Windows 10, and LL.
Clover usually has no problme handing the boot, but with LL it's a no go. Again, I have to hit F12 to enter the bios, then select the OS. Not the easiest way to do it, but not too bad since I am spending most of my time in LL lately.

To the powers that be, please get UEFI working, it wil help you get more people involved in LL.
I love the distro BTW.
I've tried so many others, but I'm sticking with LL. No need to look any further.

Thanks again!
