    Cant boot ubuntu 13.10 after instaling it

    So, i've always been a Windows user, but yesterday i downloaded 64 bits Ubuntu 13.10 and created a bootable usb to install from it.

    I choose the option to install it alongside with Windows, it partitioned my hd, installed sucessfully but after the message I restarted it it automatically entered windwows (same hd)...

    I tried using boot repair while on "try" experecience, but it didnt work.

    Reinstalled it twice after but no sucess but it didnt work either, one of them i made 4 partitions.. (/boot, / , /home, swap), choose it to boot from /boot partition..

    It doesnt even shows up grub for me to choose which OS i want to boot.

    Am I doing something wrong?? Shoud i try installing it from DVD?

    If older Windows did you specify to install grub to MBR of drive sda or sdb etc and set BIOS to boot that drive, not a partition like sda5?
    Or if new UEFI type system have you gone into UEFI or one time boot key and booted ubuntu entry?

    Best to see details.
