I want to install Ubuntu 12.04 alongside Windows 8 on a Dell Inspiron SE The installer says I currently have no detected operating systems. Is it ok to go ahead with the install using the "something else" option and putting Ubuntu on a partition or will it wreck my Windows 8?

    Please specify which version of Ubuntu 12.04 you are using (desktop or server, 32 or 64 bit). – dobey Nov 14 '13 at 19:04

You should shutdown Windows 8.1.

At default setting, Windows 8 is just hibernating. I think your Win OS is hibernated so the disk is still mounted at the Windows side. Get in to the power settings and set the appropriate checkbox. This video link can be useful.
