I am having problems getting grub to load Windows 8 properly after installing Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 8 on a solid state drive. Here's what I did:

  1. Fresh install of Windows 8 using USB recovery drive (partitioned SSD for UEFI) -- Tested windows install and it worked fine
  2. Built bootable USB with Ubuntu 12.10 64bit and installed Ubuntu -- Used Ubuntu's installer to partition the Windows 8 partition and install there
  3. Reboot - try to load windows 8 from grub -- Ubuntu loads correctly; windows load reports various problems with permissions and not being able to find files - I'll update what the actual errors are
  4. Tried to fix the boot problem using boot-repair: -- here's the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1384522/

So, this is my first time trying to setup a dual boot system and I think that UEFI is the main culprit in getting this to work correctly. What do I need to
