Cannot dual boot Ubuntu 12.10 with windows 8.

For Ubuntu with Windows 8 you need grub 2 bootloader because of secure boot of Windows 8. As I know only grub 2 can boot both. As DrA7 sayed, open Ubuntu Live session (from disk or usb) and install Boot-Repair. Then open this tool. This will repare your boot loader and after reboot you will be able to select both Ubuntu and Windows 8

    I have tried automatic partition, i Have did the partition myself but Ubuntu installs alright. But when i restart the computer it goes back to windows 8 and i Have tried easybcd boot manager but it didn't work either. I displays ubuntu on the dual boot screen but after a while the screen shutdowns and say it didn't find the boot file or the boot file was missing?

    Do you guys know how to solve this problem? any suggestions?

      Could you explain more your trouble? After turn on your computer you go to Windows directly? Right now you have the GRUB as Boot Manager or what? If so, what happens exactly when you select Ubuntu there?
