Ok, Mint or Cinnamon flavour, 32 or 64 bit, and I still need to know your choice of DVD vs USB install. I seem to have lost my Mint DVD iso so I'm grabbing another one to throw at a virtual machine so I can follow exactly what you're doing. We'll have to specify nomodeset at boot to avoid kernel mode setting not working properly on your hardware, maybe noacpi as well to be safe. Download's done, so I'll test here at my end. Whilst we could chainload in from an ISO that's going to be sub-optimal, we just need to force the Mint installer to behave itself and you'll be fine.
