  • Follow the instructions in http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported – user68186 Jan 29 '15 at 23:51
  • Sounds like Windows is UEFI and Ubuntu is BIOS boot mode? You need to have Ubuntu installed in UEFI boot mode. Boot-Repair can convert if it is not in UEFI mode. Also many vendors now modify UEFI to only boot the Windows entry and need work arounds to boot Ubuntu. Most popular seems to be the rename of bootx64.efi to really be a grub or shim file. http://askubuntu.com/questions/486752/dual-boot-win-8-ubuntu-loads-only-win/486789#486789 Not just HP: http://askubuntu.com/questions/244261/how-do-i-get-my-hp-laptop-to-boot-into-grub-from-my-new-efi-file – oldfred Jan 30 '15 at 01:20
