Below given are the steps which I followed to install ubuntu 12.10 with existing windows 8 in my machine.

  1. I downloaded ubuntu 12.10 into my disk and made it bootable from my usb by selecting that iso file.
  2. Then restared my mahine and in BIOS I selected boot from usb.
  3. Went into Linux os and selected install ubuntu alongside windows 8. It asked for memory allocation and I selected 550 GB for Ubuntu and 404GB for Windows. After that it completed ubuntu installation.
  4. The booted into my windows 8 and used easyBCD to add a new entry. Ubuntu grup2
  5. Now the easyBCD shows,

    There are a total of 4 entries listed in the bootloader.
    
    Default: Windows 8
    Timeout: 10 seconds
    EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\
    
    Entry #1
    Name: Lenovo Recovery System
    BCD ID: {e58d0cb6-2eae-11e2-9d20-806e6f6e6963}
    Device: \Device\HarddiskVolume3
    Bootloader Path: \EFI\Microsoft\Boot\LrsBootMgr.efi
    
    Entry #2
    Name: EFI USB Device
    BCD ID: {e58d0cb5-2eae-11e2-9d20-806e6f6e6963}
    Device: Unknown
    Bootloader Path: 
    
    Entry #3
    Name: Windows 8
    BCD ID: {current}
    Drive: C:\
    Bootloader Path: \windows\system32\winload.efi
    
    Entry #4
    Name: Ubuntu 12.10
    BCD ID: {6f173570-3bce-11e2-be74-c0143dd589c0}
    Drive: C:\
    Bootloader Path: \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr
    
  6. Next I restarted my system and in the boot options it shows windows 8 and ubuntu 12.10

  7. When I click on ubuntu it displays,

    \NST\AutoNeoGrub0.mbr
    status 0xc000007b
    The application or operating system cold not be loaded because a required file is    missing or contains errors.
    

Can you help me resolve this...

Thanks :)
