UNetbootin not working

[aaron14]

I'm trying to install Ubuntu for the first time and I'm trying to use UNetbootin to do so. When I select UNetbootin in the boot menu I get this message

Boot Manager:
Windows failed to start. A recent hardware of software change might be the cause. To fix the problem:

1.Insert your Windows installation disc and restart the computer.
2.Choose your language settings, and then click "Next".
3.Click "Repair your computer."

If you do not have this disc, contact your system administrator or computer manufacturer for assistance.

File: \ubnldr.mbr
Status:0xc000000f
Info: The selected entry could not be loaded because the application is missing or corrupt.

I'm using a Asus Zenbook UX31A which has Windows 8 installed. Any help would be awesome.

I forgot to add, I ran bcdedit as an admin and I got this:

Exact same problem here. I saw other forums, where the device for UNetbootin was "boot", which could be fixed by changing it to "partition=C:". For me, this is already set and it still won't boot Linux install.
Any news on this?

Unetbootin is to BURN the .iso image to USB drive and make it bootable. You don't boot with Unetbootin.

Tell us what exactly are you doing.
