Linux+windows, Unable to put on one disk.?

Question

linux

1. launched the Mint17.1 installer. I made a markup - 200 gigs for Linux and 200 for Windows. Windows cannot be installed, says the Windows installer. By the method of logic, I came to the conclusion that the boot sector is not a screw sector, and therefore it does not work.
2. installed Windows. partitioned the disk from under the Windows installer. made 2 sections. 1 under Windows the second under Linux. both ntfs (in order to reformat from the linux installer to ext) I
reboot from livecd. Everything is right on the desktop. 2 labels lie on both disks. one with Windows, the other empty. I start the installation. the system says that my entire disk is not marked up and 400 gigs are free. ran gparted the same garbage. Once cursed at GPT, but did not have time to calculate, on the machine I pressed ok.
Could you suggest what can be done so that you do not touch Windows and install Linux?

Answer 1

GOOOPOOODIIIIII ... Now the age of virtualizationiasiiii!

Answer 2

In my case with GPT partitioning and UEFI, I did this.
1) Formatted the screw, installed Windows. Regular means of Windows "cut off" the required number of gigs.
2) Booted from a flash drive / disk into the Mint installer
3) During installation, I broke the "cut off" piece like this. /boot (be sure to select the /boot/efi mount point here, otherwise Windows will not start) and then choose to install the bootloader in this partition (for example /dev/sda5)Swap, /, /home
Here is a detailed instruction. I did it with Rufus

Answer 3

Open Google, I don’t want to take information on this issue, there is even a video instruction for installing Linux of the second OS (Windows basis)

Answer 4

disable secure boot.
