  2. [ubuntu] Re: Installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 in UEFI

    So if I free up some space by resizing down my WIn8 partition, I can install Ubuntu on the free space left over? Can I use the Win8 bootloader?
  3. [ubuntu] Re: Installing Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 in UEFI

  6. [ubuntu] Re: About to install Ubuntu, just have some questions

  9. [ubuntu] Re: About to install Ubuntu, just have some questions

    I was able to get to Legacy BIOS, and I can boot from USB and such there. I'll check to see if Win8 boots in Legacy BIOS (it should, Windows 8 worked fine on another machine that used Legacy BIOS)
