How to dual-boot Ubuntu and Windows 8

Question

I have a PC with Windows 8 on it, but I would like to install Ubuntu on it. I have created a USB Drive with Ubuntu on it using Pendrive Linux's USB Creator as it was recommended by one of the guides on ubuntu.com. It's the 64-bit version of Ubuntu 12.10.

The question now is how do I dual-boot it. The PC came pre-installed with Windows 8 on it, so there is no normal BIOS order that i can configure or change. How to I do it?

Please help me and explain in an easy to understand way, I am a complete newbie when it comes to computers!!!
