So I once had a nice setup going with dual boot linux and windows 8.1 in UEFI bootloader mode, but then I had to screw it up and try playing around. I've currently got windows 8.1 installed, with no linux at all. If I go into the BIOS settings, ubuntu is still listed under the UEFI boot priorities. For reference, I have a Dell Inspiron 15 7537 laptop. I've reinstalled win 8.1 in GPT UEFI mode, but now I can't install linux whatsoever. Advanced startup in win will absolutely not allow me to boot into a linux or windows USB (yes formatted for GPT UEFI). I've got no idea where to go from here. I can get the system setup again with MBR Legacy, but would really rather sort this problem out if anyone has faced this particular problem before. Please don't suggest that I VM or Wine whatever programs I need as that isn't a viable option.
