I have been trying to install ubuntu (I tried 12.04LTS, 12.10, 12.10-secure-remix) using the wubi installer on Windows 8 and all the three times ran into the same problem showing some cannot find /ubuntu/winboot/wubildr when I tried to start ubuntu.



I tried to change the boot settings from UEFI to Legacy and then my laptop restarted and showed that "No operating System Found".



I then tried to install Ubuntu using a cd and after a lot of effort and using boot repair,etc. I landed into a new trouble. When I select UEFI on, the laptop loads Windows and windows too does not detect ubuntu. When I select Legacy mode, it starts ubuntu, shows me an option to start windows 8 but gives an error showing windows failed to load.



So in legacy mode, i am able to use only ubuntu and in UEFI mode, I am able to use only Win8. Please explain any process of starting windows in legacy mode (which I tried without any success) or starting ubuntu in UEFI mode.

You have installed Ubuntu in Legacy mode, but you need it in UEFI mode as Windows is in UEFI mode.



To fix this:




  1. set up your BIOS in UEFI mode, and disable SecureBoot /FastBoot /QuickBoot

  2. boot on your Ubuntu-Secure disc (in UEFI mode if possible), choose Try Ubuntu, run Boot-Repair's Recommended Repair

  3. Reboot the PC. You should see the GRUB menu with access to both Ubuntu and Windows.
