i installed Ubuntu 13.04 after using windows 8 for a while. everything during installation went smooth and fine but after the reboot, i am unable to boot into Ubuntu as my computer directly boots into windows!

i tried everything on the web using the live USB - boot repair, reintall, everything! still no help.

i got this from the boot repair program - Ubuntu pastebin

thank you in advance.

You seem to have booted Boot-Repair in UEFI mode but your install is in BIOS mode. Boot the Boot-Repair in BIOS mode and run the auto fix to install grub2's boot loader for sda5 into sda.

Was there an error message during install that grub did not get installed. A few BIOS have security on MBR to prevent writing. If you still get an error check BIOS.

You can manually install grub2's boot loader to MBR also.
