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.

I just bought an Asus K55N and I want to dual boot Ubuntu 12.04 x64 with the factory installed Windows 7. I used the live-cd.

I have been running Ubuntu for years now and have installed a dual boot on several machines.

Here is what my screen says: Windows failed to start. A recent hardware or software issue is the cause.

I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 by creating free space in Windows 8 and then using that space to create 3 partitions, one for SWAP, one for GRUB (mounting point is /boot) and one for the actual OS. I did this so the Windows 8 boot loader wouldn't be overwritten in case I ever wanted to remove Ubuntu.
