Problem installing Ubuntu 13.10 alongside Windows 8
- by kustrle
What I have:
Sony Vaio laptop (SVE1512E6EW) with preinstalled Windows 8. I disabled Secure Boot some time ago in BIOS. I already had Ubuntu (previous version) installed on it, but removed it some time ago. After that, the default Windows boot menu is showing up everytime I boot up computer, and the only entry is Windows 8.
What I did:
Burned Ubuntu 13.10 DVD
Restarted computer and booted from it
Chosen Install Ubuntu (not Try Ubuntu)
Created new ext4 partition from free space
Installed Ubuntu on it
What happened:
After the installation I restarted computer. Windows default boot menu showed up (just as before) and the only entry was still Windows 8.
If you have any additional questions I will try to answer them as fast as possible.
