Ive found this useful http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported [How much it will be useful to you I dont know] Some of it is ubuntu specific. Much is about what to do in windows-8 to prepare it for dual boot setup. Two things missing there are: a. Need to use gdisk (and family) rather than the traditional partitioners b. Need to create a grub partition http://askubuntu.com/questions/500359/efi-boot-partition-and-biosgrub-partition -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
