Problems booting Fedora 19 with UEFI

Hi,





I recently purchased a Dell Inspiron 5721 which came with Windows 8. I 
would like to dual boot this with Fedora but am having problems running 
the Fedora Install. I have Fedora-19-x86_64-DVD.iso on usb, and whenever
 I boot with UEFI (secure on or off), the
boot process hangs at the line, Reached target Basic System:





[   12.650116] localhost systemd[1]: Started Dispatch Password Requests to Console Directory Watch.
[   12.650553] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Paths.
[   12.650962] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Paths.
[   12.651376] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Basic System.
[   12.651829] localhost systemd[1]: Reached target Basic System.





And then bails out after a few minutes and starts up the Dracut Emergency Shell:





[   35.729286] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: add path (uevent)


[   35.915042] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: update path write_protect to '0' (uevent)


[   36.008982] localhost multipathd[108]: sdc: update path write_protect to '1' (uevent)

[  197.574126] localhost dracut-initqueue[395]: Warning: /dev/root does not exist


[  197.578383] localhost systemd[1]: Starting Dracut Emergency Shell...





I have pasted the full sosreport.txt at http://pastebin.com/4stUgUDN





Please note that if I install in basic graphics mode, I still get the 
same result. The only way I can get the install to work, is if I boot in
 legacy mode. Unfortunately after doing this, I can no longer boot up 
Windows.





If anyone knows how to fix this, I'd be really grateful for some help :-)





Many thanks,





Ed
