Dual booting windows 8/Ubuntu 12.04.2, GRUB doesn't appear and Ubuntu never boots

I got a new ACER predator AG3620-UR308 which came with windows 8 and I wanted to run ubuntu 12.04.2 on it as a dual boot machine. The box came with 2TB HDD. So I made 4 partitions with a raw partition just after the windows installation partition.

I created a swap area and finished the installation. GRUB was installed on the only drive there which is /dev/sda.

After reboot, GRUB doesn't even come up. It always boots Windows 8. I repeated installation process twice and got the same result. I disabled secure boot from the BIOS and enabled CSM (don't even know what it means) according to Acer custhelp site . I boot from USB and got this:

$ sudo fdisk -l

Can anybody shed some light? thank you in advance

EDIT
I just did another trial with 13.04 this time and still no luck.

bios: secure-boot: disabled   
enable CSM : always 

• Deleted previous Ubuntu partition and swap area partition.now having free space


• Used usb installer to prepare usb with ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso


• rebooted : liveusb didnt detect windows 8, used something else


• created partition ext4 for /



• created partition for swap-area


• default grub path is /dev/sda and clicked install

Acer always boots into windows.

NEW EDIT

After following the boot-repair suggestion installed on the liveUSB, I can now see grub but can't log into windows anymore as it's not in the list. The boot-repair also completed with an error, i guess logged on pastin.ubuntu

How my drive is organized

Try using Boot Repair in Ubuntu.

Reboot. It should work now, although your GRUB is probably littered with useless entries.
