Ok so i am running windows 8 on my computer currently and trying to get Ubuntu up and running in a dual boot. My system has UEFI secure boot (for the record its a laptop). When i boot up my Ubuntu from a flash drive it does not recognize windows 8 is installed on my system. Also if it is any help, Windows 8 and the drive i am try to install Ubuntu on is a solid state drive. And before anyone asks i have trying disabling secure boot. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You should turn off UEFI secure boot when installing Ubuntu and turn on it later.
You can just mount on some partitions (/dev/sdaN) and check which partition contain Windows.
For partitioning for Ubuntu, execute GParted in your Terminal window and make partiton and some space for Ubuntu.

I have installed Ubuntu manually by partitioning, i was just kinda wondering if anyone could shed some light on why it can not detect my operating system. It would make boot management a lot easier – user177436 Jul 23 '13 at 14:52
