Hello.
As has previously been posted, I have a UEFI system, which came with
MS Win8 installed.
I then installed Debian 7 on the system, and Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and,

However, I have found that the MS Win8

From my point of view:
Who will know what

is basically the goal of UEFI secure boot, and all users can benefit
from that.

I bought a new laptop and the debian does not install on it because the

attempts to create the EFI-fat16 partition. I can still get a shell on
another virtual console. After about 2 minutes syslog show a MCE
hardware error.
Using the Wheezy installer to create the partition works, and running

Corey,
If you don't like to use unetbootin, you could try one of the following:
1. pendrivelinux (url: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/)
2. rufus (url: http://rufus.akeo.ie/)
Both are free and open-source and they don't need to be installed on Windows.
Which version of Windows are you using? and i

Hi,
Which version of Debian did you try to install? What eactly happened
when grub installation failed?
Debian Wheezy (7.x) and onwards for amd64 should install via UEFI and
co-exist happily with Windows 8 on a GPT system, but there may be bugs
of course. If you can give us some more information

I got a new laptop without a CD/DVD drive and am trying to install off a
USB image and either dual boot my pre-installed windows 8.1 or just wipe
and use strictly Debian. I get all the way to the point of installing
GRUB and it fails. I've read that this may have something to do with
