Boot option not available to boot Kali Linux (installed along side Windows 8)

Question

i have Sony Vaio laptop with pre-installed Windows 8. I installed kali linux (in UEFI mode) alongside with windows 8. On first restart, I got both the option in the boot menu i.e., to either start kali linux or windows 8. I chose windows 8 first. After I restarted again, that dual boot option is not showing anymore and windows 8 is starting automatically. What should I do to get dual boot option to boot either Kali Linux or Windows 8?

Solution

You might consider getting third party boot menu software. Windwos 8 is not to natively boot Kali Linux, so I'd go with 3rd party software that is made to recognize multiple OS's.

EDIT So per the comment below, I have decided to revise my answer. You can install A boot loader like this one here it will list all the OS's installed and you can choose the one that you would like.

Your answer is kind of nebulous. It points in a direction that someone could research for an answer, but it isn't information someone could follow to solve the problem. With a little more rep, you could put this kind of advice in a comment. Answers should be definitive solutions.

External links can become unavailable, in which case your answer would have little value (other than general advice to research GRUB). Super User's purpose is to build a knowledgebase for long-term reference, so link-only answers are discouraged because of that. Links should be used for attribution and further information, but the essential information should be included in the answer.
