I know this topic was discussed here a lot but I didn't manage to work dualboot on my laptop. I have HP laptop with pre-installed Windows 8.1. Today I tried to install Ubuntu to partition.

I followed this guide: Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI

I followed it exactly as it is but now when I start the computer, there is no GRUB.

  1. Secureboot is turned OFF
  2. FastStartup in Windows is turned OFF
  3. Ubuntu installation didn't find any other Operation system (even though Windows 8.1 is installed). So I choosed Something else, then I splitted my unallocated space to 4 parts:
    • "/"
    • swap
    • "/home"
    • efi
  4. I tried using boot-repair on my LiveUSB ubuntu but without success.

Here are my results: http://paste2.org/O93OtjOk

Can somebody give me a clue what I did wrong or how to fix it?

  • HP's only boot Windows and Windows will reset itself to be first regularly. You have to do a work around and have system boot hard drive which uses bootx64.efi. copy grub to /efi/Boot and rename grubx64.efi to bootx64.efi and boot hard drive. http://askubuntu.com/questions/486752/dual-boot-win-8-ubuntu-loads-only-win/486789#486789 http://askubuntu.com/questions/507013/windows-8-1-changes-boot-order You may be able to manually boot: 1) press esc key while booting to access start up menu 2) press F9 for boot devices menu. – oldfred Oct 18 '14 at 20:35
  • It works! Thank you very much! I just need to press F9 right after I start my laptop, it will ask me to choose what I want to boot then I just choose Ubuntu and I see Grub. Thanks! – Adam Zákravský Oct 19 '14 at 16:45
