I am trying to install from a DVD. I start the installation and text appears on the screen but then it stops and the screen goes black. I tested the disk on a desktop and it works. The notebook is a Lenovo G500. It came with Windows 8 64bit on a GPT drive. I messed up the windows while messing around with Linux so I converted the GPT disk to MBR to see if that was the problem. I have reinstalled Windows 8 again and messed it up again. I downloaded the openSUSE rescue disk and tried it, but it does the same thing. It starts but then the screen goes black. I have let it sit for over an hour, just in case it was just being very slow, but there is no sign of anything happening. Would an earlier version work better?
