I have a Lenovo ideapad g580 with Windows 8 from the box.

When I insert a USB stick with Ubuntu 12.10 64-bit, it is just giving me to try it, not to run it from the USB.

When I put it on my other laptop it is just running and I can save data and files, and when I shutdown the laptop the data aren't deleted.

And on the Lenovo when I work on Ubuntu, all the data after restarting the system are deleted.

I am also on a Windows 8 Lenovo ideapad (Z580). I don't know what is going wrong with yours, but I think you might be able to help me... Does your Windows 8 still work after you unplug the USB stick? I want to use ubuntu but if it breaks my Windows 8 then I had better not... Sorry I can't be more useful in answering your question... How did you get Ubuntu onto the USB - I know you probably already know this, but try using PenDriveLinux and persistence mode. I haven't tried it but it's supposed to make the USB remember each session like on a normal pc.
