Created new partition -> installed ubuntu on there (When installing the Ubuntu, I cannot see any options that has "... install along Windows 8". I can only see option to erase the disk which is I dont want), and done. After computer restarts, my pc does not detect Ubuntu, and it proceed to windows 8.1. So I use EasyBCD, and I added the Ubuntu there

    take a look at this http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported it's not that simple to install Ubuntu on GPT-disk alongside Win8 – JoKeR Feb 26 '14 at 16:43
  • you can find a lot of questions and answers about installing Ubuntu alongside Windows within this forum – JoKeR Feb 26 '14 at 16:45
  • Thank you, I've read the guide on that post. Unfortunately I'm stuck here, my powershell output was "Cmdlet not supported on this platform", which according to his post, I can install Ubuntu by simply inserting the LiveCD or LiveUSB and doing the installation procedure without any problems. Though it's not, I'm stuck on the grub console after installation! – user252612 Feb 26 '14 at 18:03
  • did you read it to the end? and did everything as follows? you installed boot-repair updated grub and disabled secure boot after all? – JoKeR Feb 26 '14 at 19:33
  • Thank you, boot-repair fixed the issue and grub is now showing properly but after that my windows 8 doesnt appear there.

    so I have to run os-probe, update grub, and finally got win 8 works alongside with ubuntu!

Did the Ubuntu entry you added in EasyBCD show up when you restart Windows?

If no, go to run > msconfig > second tab (Boot) > increase timeout and restart.

If yes, did it work? If it showed up but didn't work, try editing the Ubunty entry in EasyBCD by specifying the drive for your boot (or root?) partition.

  • Yeah the entry appears after I rebooted my pc, I created two entries for my ubuntu, one is using "Automatically Locate and Load" and other one is the location of my "/boot", not sure why but both of them have same output (stuck on GRUB> black console screen) – user252612 Feb 26 '14 at 18:08
