just reinstalled ubuntu on a system that already has windows 8, and I installed it along side windows 8, I choose the USB Hard Drive (UEFI) option. But when I restart on put on the system it automatically boots windows and doesn't allow me choose which OS i would prefer to use.

Anyone who attempts dual booting without reading https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power-on_self-test , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIOS , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Master_boot_record , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GUID_Partition_Table , https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UEFI is doomed to confusion, failure and frustration. – waltinator Nov 23 '16 at 21:25

Just about every HP needs a work around. Most copy shimx64 to /EFI/Boot/bootx64.efi and boot the fallback or hard drive entry. Boot-Repair now does the copy if you use advanced mode and check the 'use the standard efi file' option.

Use f9 there you can see Ubuntu. If you want a permanent repair then you should change OS boot manager preference in your BIOS menu. See here my answer
