I'm running Windows 8.1 on a Lenovo Y510P laptop.
When I got the laptop I formatted the hard-drive, re-installed Windows 8.1 on a 100GB partition, and left the rest of the room.
I tried installing Kali Linux following the steps
outlined here (although the instructions are for Windows 7 Dual Boot)
I created all of the recommended partitions, went through the install, but after the install, it appears to reboot, but then just sits there with a black screen, but power still on (I can see that my laptop's keyboard still has it's backlights on.) The hard drive doesn't appear to be making any sound when this happens, but I left it for 45 minutes, and nothing ever happened.
I tried deleting the partition and just installing it using the guided option for installing where there is the most free space available, but I still ran into the same problem.
I tried using EasyBCD to boot into Kali just in case it worked - but it just brings me to the basic grub screen where I'm unable to do anything.
Any suggestions as to what I could try? Thanks!
