try this website http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/tired-of-windows-8-how-to-dual-boot-windows-ubuntu/ I think you are getting this problem because of BIOS and as I remember you should use UEFI to dual boot win 8(I guess) but following the above mentioned guide the exact problem was solved on my brothers laptop
