I'm trying to to dual boot w8.1 and openSUSE 13.1 (GNOME) on my Acer, and I don't really know how. This is a new computer, and I've installed several distros on my old Satellite, but never on this box. I'll outline my difficulties, and I hope you can help.
1) I couldn't boot from USB. I fixed this by changing the BIOS mode from UEFI to Legacy (I have no idea what this means, but it worked).
2) I opened the Live CD and started going through YaST.
3) I used the default partition setings.
4) Partition setup finished, and YaST told me to restart and remove my USB. I did this. This is where the problem is. I booted up and (when in Legacy mode) my Acer told me there was no OS (from startup - I didn't access any menu or anything). I changed to UEFI and deleted my linux partitions (because Windows showed that I had them when the GRUB menu did not).
What do I do?
tl;dr -My computer told me no OS was installed. Fix it.
