Installation Problem

ive been trying to dual boot Ubuntu with windows 8 but so far I haven't been able too. the laptop im using is a HP Pavilion g6-2240sa pre-installed with windows 8.

ive made the bootbale USB with Ubuntu 12.10, it installs but when I restart the computer boot straight into windows, no grub boot options. I can get into Ubuntu once by doing an advanced restart and booting from the Ubuntu partition.

I believe I have the same problem.

I had a working windows 7 installation on a 1 TB hard drive, and wanted to put ubuntu on it as well. I installed xubuntu (12.something, it was the most recent as of about 2 weeks ago) alongside windows, giving it 100gb of space.

First time on forum and using ubuntu.

This is my problem. I burned Ubuntu 11.10 iso to a CD. I was able to boot my PC with it. I plugged in my flash drive, and inserted the CD and restarted the computer to boot Ubuntu.

I then chose to install Ubuntu alongside with Windows (XP prof.). Then I was able to select my flash drive as the installation location.

The first thing I did was pop in the Ubuntu CD while in Windows. It only gave me the option 'Demo and full installation' instead of 'Install Ubuntu alongside Windows' like it has in the past. Then, I restarted my computer with the disc still in the drive, and booted into the LiveCD environment.

I just installed Ubuntu onto my hard drive from a USB drive. When I reached the partitions screen, I noticed it listed the full hard drive as "free space" even though I already had Windows 7 installed.

I knew I had about 50 GB of free space on the hard drive, so I partitioned sda1 for 35 GB and installed Ubuntu onto it, and partitioned sda2 for 4 GB of swap space.

I'm new to linux and am interested in learning it so I installed ubuntu 12.10 yesterday. Installation went smoothly and I chose "install alongside windows" option and I set about 50 gb using that slider and I thought I used 50 gb from c: drive but to my shock it used 50 gb space from f: drive.

I just installed ubuntu to my new lenovo thinkpad so it could dual boot with windows 7. I downloaded the iso file from ubuntu and put it onto a flash drive. I restarted my computer, booted from the flash drive and got the standard options (1. try ubuntu 2. install ubuntu 3. check for disc problems). I went ahead and installed it onto my computer, choosing to install with another operating system.

I got a new laptop (a Vaio S series) which came with Windows 8. I wanted to install Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows, so I used a Ubuntu CD, booted from it and installed Ubuntu. Installation finished successfully, but then the problems began:

After restarting, I encountered issues in terms of choosing which OS I wanted to use when starting up.
