Hi All, I would like some help/suggestions on setting up an Ubuntu 13 Dual boot side by side with Windows 8.
My system is a HP Pavilion Notebook (i3; 64Bit) with preinstalled Win 8. The notebook has no CD drive, FYI. I have tried this <https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI> and this<http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported> thread, but half of it is greek and latin to me :( Despite the jargon, it made some sense to me, especially wrt some known issues viz., disabling the Secureboot on BIOS and the UEFI issue with newer machines. I also am aware that the Wubi Installer won't work (as per the note on Ubuntu main page) for Windows 8. Also there was a suggestion on one of the Ubuntu forums on changing the "Fastboot" settings on power options. I have tried all that. Still I cannot boot Ubuntu 13 from my USB. When I restart the system, Win 8 does not take me to a "dual boot"screen at all, and does not recognize the USB stick either and straight away starts Win 8. Any suggestions on what to do now ?
