Was it pre-installed with Windows 8? – cshubhamrao May 21 '14 at 02:13

Follow these steps.
- create a partition for your hard disk. Give 100gb for ubuntu.
- switch off fastboot in windows. by going to power settings, click on change what power buttons do and the deselect turn on fast startup. (use google search if you don't know how)
- load ubuntu 14.04 bootable pendrive or a cd according to this link.
- now, insert the pendrive or the cd and click on power and restart while holding shift key.
- then click on "usb" and then click on first option that is available. (not sure what it says)
- then click on try ubuntu or install ubuntu.
- then follow the steps. in step 3 (i think) it will give you options to clear hard dive (i.e. delete ubuntu) or other. choose other.
- the give the following memory for each: ext4 / :40gb, ext4 /home: 50gb, ext2 /boot: 500mb and downset boot thing to boot partiton.
- then you are done. just follow steps.
If you are using windows 7 or lower wawtch this it should guid you through the process.
hope it was helpful.
