Wubi is incompatible with Windows 8 and UEFI and even aside from that it's deprecated since a while. – David Foerster Mar 19 '15 at 01:23

The OP isn't installing with Wubi... Clearly states "I booted via USB ... When I start the installation process, I select the language". This is a normal install. – bcbc Mar 24 '15 at 04:22

@Gautam Can you confirm what you see - is it "Install Ubuntu alongside" or "Install Ubuntu inside"? Does it reboot immediately or does it appear to install before rebooting? (1st problem indicates all 4 primary partitions used) – bcbc Mar 24 '15 at 04:24

Check the md5sum of the .iso – Panther Apr 06 '15 at 13:28

If you want to dual boot Ubuntu with Windows 8.1 then don't choose the option "install Ubuntu alongside with Windows". instead choose Something Else option and continue the installation.
