Hi.
I'm having troubles installing Elementary OS(EOS) as my scond OS besides windows 8.1 pro. The EOS forum suggested me that i asked my question here, so here goes.
I have 1 SSD and 1 HDD, on the SSD i have partitioned it to two main patitions - 1 for windows and 1 for Elementary OS. On the HDD i have 2 paritions for windows storage and 2 partitions for EOS (1 swap on 16GB and 1 for /home on 150 GB). I am able to install EOS and see it in the boot menu, but when i boot in EOS i get a black screen with the text "GNU GRUB...", and the possibility to see which commands i can use with TAP, much like this picture:

I have tried to install EOS multiple times but with the same outcome. Then i have tried to use boot repair, to fix the boot problem: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
I am able to make a live usb from it and boot from it, but when i choose to boot from the live usb with boot repair the screen is just black. - then i tried it with a DVD and another usb - still with the same outcome....
This is quite annoying and i hope that you can help me :)!
