Sorry to hear that. Wish I had some direct experience on UEFI systems. Maybe then I'd have a better idea on how to get it to boot. All I know is that some of the UEFI's out there can be pretty tricky and people have to mess with different combinations of settings -- mixing different defaults for the main settings with the setting from the session boot menu. Every once in a while computers can also be picky about which brand of USB/DVD is used. I haven't run into that myself, but have seen that a few times on the Mint forums.
If you ever do find a magic solution to booting and do test install idea posted above, please let us know how you got the booting to work and whether or not install and conversion worked.
Thanks for trying.
