A miracle, it worked! I thought I would try once more. Windows 7 and Mint 13 on a Lenovo ThinkCentre Edge72 Changed following in BIOS startup bootmode --> legacy only startup bootpriority --> legacy first security secureboot --> disabled and the installation of Win7 and Mint with a data partition in the middle went through and are selected in the grub menu. Win7 gave a start error the first time but then started and didn't repeat the error
