This post is a wiki. Anyone with karma >750 is welcome to improve it.

Hi Dear friends,

I have tried installing Fedora 22 along with windows 8.1, However, the partitioning did not work out. So i ran a terminal command and learned that its in "UEFI" mode. When checked whether its in " GPT" or "MBR" , It says, " MBR only".

Now, I have no idea how to boot the Fedora live disk in legacy mode for installation. Please help.

I have attached the screenshot of the terminal for your reference.

Normally put Windows 8 on a GPT partition. But your screenshot shows that MBR. Do this:

Insert the USB stick drive with Fedora
As soon as you turn on your computer, RIGHT click (times 100):) press F12 or F11 or F10 (depending on your BIOS)
You will have a BIOS menu there will be your WITH TWO items: "UEFI USB stick" and "Stick"
Choose the SECOND option: "Stick" and install a system in the MBR. (on screenshot THIRD line https://codechief.files.wordpress.com... )
