so i need to get a different HDD and load a fresh copy on it? in otherwords this will not work with the mint structure?

that link states it could be a graphics card issue..

i would be ok with doing a fresh install on it as i just proted about 200gigs of music and movies thats on a backup drive. SO i would be ok with a fresh install. but unable to format a drive your booting to

Hi, can you post a screenshot of your Partitioning? As you state graphics issue, Press F6 during live boot mode, use your cursor keys to go up and down the options and press space bar against:

acpi=off and

nomodeset - this is the graphics part.

then press enter and enter again.

Keep us posted!

PS I don't like unetbootin - much prefer MultiSystem:
