- Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8: Detailed blog entry, detailed answer on askubuntu.
Suggestions:- Turn off fast startup
If fast startup is turned on, Windows keeps a snapshot of the system when it boots up, which gets corrupted or lost when installing Ubuntu
Option is available via Control Panel → Power Options → Choose what the power button does → click on "Change settings that are currently unavailable" ! - Disable secure boot
Although Ubuntu is compatible with secure boot, secure boot is still the part that creates most dual boot issues. - Disable UEFI Boot
Also called enable CSM boot (CSM means Compatibility Support Module). This restores the old usual boots, but requires GRUB to boot Windows 8
Q? Will recovery via F9 continue to work?
- Turn off fast startup
- Info on UEFI
- ASUS Recovery — press F9 at boot to go to recovery console, and restore from RECOVERY partition.
