I'd check with Samsung first some Samsung laptops have a firmware bug and can brick see here: Is it safe to install Ubuntu 64 Bit 12.10 in EFI mode on Samsung series 7 WIndows 8 laptop? – Warren Hill Jul 27 '13 at 15:01

In windows, partition your drive out to where you have a partition to host your ubuntu. Then turn off fast boot inside the windows settings. Restart into your live cd and install in the extra space that you created in windows. If you turned off fast boot, you should have access to your windows files from ubuntu as well.
I hope that helps.
