My question isn't actually about dual-booting them. I have a dual-boot set up and running perfectly. There is only one flaw I was looking for an answer to. Since I haven't had any success through others asking this and using their answers I'd figure I'd ask myself. Both OS's boot perfectly fine there are no errors. I do however have to boot through the BIOS everytime if I would like to switch OS's. While this isn't necessarily a problem, it is a huge nuisance to have to rapidly press delete everytime I would rather boot into Ubuntu than Windows. I'm not necessarily looking for a Graphical boot manager. More like the boot manager rEEfit that is used to assist in selecting which OS to boot into on MAC OSX. I have tried easyBCD, and it flat out just doesn't work, it'll boot into windows fine, but it gives me EFI errors if I select Ubuntu. Maybe I'm just using it wrong I don't know. If anyone can offer any help please do!



My dual-boot is Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.

You have to make sure your EUFI is disabled at the BIOS. The EUFI stands for Unified Extensible Firmware Interface. To do that visit this link
