I installed Ubuntu on a pc with Windows 8 preinstalled.
After installation Grub showed Ubuntu entries and Windows 8 Boot Manager (or something similar), selecting it I got:
/EndEntire
file path /ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(2,1f)/UnknownMessaging(12)/HD(2,e1800,82000,963b540a6178e211,8d,38)/File(EFIMicrosoftBoot)/File(bootmgfw.efi)/EndEntire
error: cannot load image.
After that I run boot-repair with the default options.
This is the file it generated: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6005571
And this grub entries:
- Ubuntu
- Advanced options for Ubuntu
- Windows UEFI bkpbootmgfw.efi
- Windows Boot UEFI loader
- EFI/toshiba/Boot/bootmgfw.efi
- Windows Boot Manager (UEFI on /dev/sda2)
- System setup (Bios menu)
The four about Windows 8 all give a similar error message:

How can I fix this?
Update:
Following Rod Smith answer I tried wit rEFInd from an USB flash drive.
It shows two Windows icons, one of which work (the other gives an error, it's the one that says Probabbly Grub).
The working one is: Boot Microsoft EFI boot (Boot Repair backup) from 256MiB FAT Volume
So I was able to boot into Windows, now how can I fix this so that I don't have to use rEFInd?
And how can I remove rEFInd from my pc (it shows also after removing the usb flashdrive from the pc)?
