I followed these instructions to dual boot windows 8 and ubuntu:
Installing Ubuntu Alongside a Pre-Installed Windows with UEFI
I was successfully able to install ubuntu. But then I couldn't boot into windows 8
"File: \Boot\BCD Status: 0xc000000c Info: the boot configuration data for your pc is missing or contains errors."
So I ran boot-repair in ubuntu.
But then when I restarted computer I get:
error: invalid arch independent ELF magic
grub rescue >
At the end of boot-repair I had this message:
Please do not forget to make your BIOS boot on sda2/EFI/ubuntu/shimx64.efi file!
I have no idea how to do that. I am able to boot into ubuntu by hitting the F12 on startup, otherwise it goes to the screen with the invalid arch error.
Here is the summary of the boot-repair: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6535680
EDIT: Still not able to boot into windows 8 from grub screen btw I get:
error: unknown command 'drivemap'.
error: invalid EFI file path.
EDIT: A few more details: when I installed ubuntu I had my BIOS set to legacy mode (not UEFI) as suggested by the article above. When I installed Ubuntu I chose the "Install Ubuntu alongside Windows 8" option.
