Can't find UEFI for Ubuntu.

[kmdude344]

I need to reinstall ubuntu on my Asus X551C which was originally a windows 8 computer. From within the ubuntu installation I currently have, I cannot find any way to access the UEFI settings nor would I know any terminal commands to access the settings menu. Does anyone have any ideas?
Running ubuntu 14.04 on (as I said) an Asus X551C with UEFI.
If you're wondering why I need to re-install, please look at the following thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2231923

put your dvd or usb stick whatever you are using to install ubuntu,reboot go into bios go into boot look for something relating to uefi make that first boot priority save and reboot you should be booting into ubuntu uefi.

Asus seems to have many models. Some may be internally configured similarly?
