On the Ubuntu site there is said that:

Windows installer is not compatible with Windows 8 or UEFI firmware, and is not available for Ubuntu 13.10. Please download a 64-bit flavour of Ubuntu Desktop. Learn more

  • I don't know what do you need Ubuntu for, but you can try VirtualBox (gorąco polecam). – dhpasta Dec 09 '13 at 21:26
  • I want Ubuntu for personal use because i like it better than windows 8.1 but dzienki :) – Bartek Dec 09 '13 at 21:29
  • Here you have everything about Ubuntu installation. On the bottom you will find instructions how to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows, there about partitioning etc. Miłej zabawy – dhpasta Dec 09 '13 at 21:34
  • @Bartek WUBI is compatible with 12.04, but not Windows 8. – Seth Dec 09 '13 at 22:43
  • Wubi does not work on gpt partitioned drives. So it can work on Windows 8 if you installed yourself in BIOS/MBR mode. But all pre-installed Windows 8 are UEFI and use gpt. Better instructions for UEFI installs http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-uefi-supported-windows-8-system and https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI – oldfred Dec 09 '13 at 22:46
