Hello everybody! I have some problems with switching 2 OS on my laptop. I installed Windows 8.1 then Ubuntu 14.10 64bit. Now I can't run Ubuntu, because Windows launch right away. I want to see the GRUB window to choose OS. I tried to use Boot-repair utility https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair, but it doesn't solve my problem. Report about that is http://paste.ubuntu.com/9839570/. Help me, please:)

Boot-Repair is saying you left fast boot or the always on hibernation on. You must turn that off if you want to dual boot.

It defaults shutdown to a hybrid hibernation/off state for fast boot

But then files may be corrupted similar to Windows 7 Hibernation:

Fast boot is hidden.
If issues you may need these?
Control Panel -> Power icon -> Choose what power buttons do -> Change settings that are currently unavaliable, make sure fast startup is unchecked
powercfg /h off


What model Asus?

UEFI may have setting that is Windows 8 or Windows 7, which probably is to turn off secure boot
