start installing the system
1. Install the system first install WINDOWS8 and ubuntu12.04, the installation sequence can be no tube, just install to the Ubuntu partition when you need to pay attention to device for boot loader Installation Selection (grub installation location), if you select the entire hard disk, the boot will be started when the win is Ubuntu management boot (with grub boot windows), so after uninstalling Ubuntu, win will also be lost startup, Cause the system to go into the problem (of course, can be repaired); If device for boot loader installation chooses the partition of Ubuntu/boot, the next boot will enter win by default. At this time as long as the win under the FREEBCD to add an Ubuntu guide on the line.
According to the above method, when grub is installed on the Ubuntu partition, both systems are installed (either Ubuntu or Windows first), then it will only go into the win system, this is normal, because the entire disk boot is MBR. Then install the EASYBCD software under WIN8 (that is, add an Ubuntu boot to the MBR).
2. Install EASYBCD download EASYBCD Software installation will prompt you to install. NET XXX 3.5 Administrator open cmd input dism.exe/online/enable-feature/featurename:netfx3/source:h : \sources\sxs (Here the H is the drive letter of the virtual optical drive that mounts the WIN8 system image, this looks at its own case custom)
It will be installed in a few more. 3. Use EASYBCD to add Ubuntu Startup items to add Ubuntu Startup items, this and Win7 under the same action, then restart, you will find that the Ubuntu startup item is added, But the Win8 start-up management of Ubuntu Startup items (that is, the dual system selection interface is Metro mode), but it does not matter: Set the Ubuntu startup item as the default startup item!
12.04 and Previous versions can add startup items with Ubuntu grub2, 12.10 and 13.04 Add startup items with Neogrub. If Ubuntu does not boot after upgrading to 12.10 or 13.04, re-adding the Neogrub boot entry to Ubuntu will boot.
12.04 and Previous version Add method:
The following drive select Ubuntu/partition (if/boot separate partition select/boot directory) the partition where the directory is located
12.10,13.04, 13.10 Add method:
Input content:
Title Ubuntu/linux 13.04
Find--set-root/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
Kernel/boot/grub/i386-pc/core.img
Boot
#如果/boot is partitioned separately, using the following:
Title Ubuntu/linux 13.04 (/boot on single Partitionas)
Find--set-root/grub/i386-pc/core.img
Kernel/grub/i386-pc/core.img
Boot
If it appears Error 15:file not found, workaround: http://xiao106347.blog.163.com/blog/static/215992078201332911919834/
Or here to add 13.04 and 13.10 of the boot with GRUB2 mode, and then refer to the link above to replace the C-drive ANG0 file, so you can avoid 2 times the Grub boot interface!
4. Turn off the quick start of Win8
Why turn off Win8 's quick start, because this feature, WIN8 in the shutdown of the time will not be a complete shutdown, but similar to the state of deep sleep. It is because there is no complete shutdown, resulting in every time we shut down from the WIN8 system, the second turn on the power will go directly into the WIN8 system, there is no Ubuntu Startup items can be selected, but the Win8 restart is a normal shutdown, So the Win8 and Ubuntu dual-boot items are only restarted from Win8!
To turn off the deep sleep method:
A, Control panel--Power Options--Select the function of the power button--click on the Blue font above "Change currently unavailable settings"--win enable hybrid boot in shutdown settings do not tick.
B, Group Policy Editor (start---run--gpedit.msc)--Computer Configuration--Administrative Template--system--shutdown--require use of hybrid boot--into the configuration interface--disabled
C, delete the hibernation file Hiberfil.sys, free the C disk space: win+x--command Prompt (Administrator)--input: powercfg/h off
Windows Ubuntu Dual system boot
