Double Boot Windows 8 & Ubuntu 14
Install Windows 8.1 from either USB or CD.
Install Ubuntu from either USB or CD. Choose the option: "Install alongside Windows 8".
When you reboot probably Windows will start automatically without asking if you want yo use Ubuntu.
In that case, use once again the USB/CD installer for Ubuntu and select the option "Try Ubuntu".
Open a terminal and type: "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update"
Then type: "sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair && boot-repair"
The window of boot repair will pop up, select: "Recommended repair".
Once, boot repair has finished, just reboot, hopefully it did work.
