Windows 8 and Ubuntu 12.10 boot problem


I have installed Ubuntu 12.10 on my computer that had Windows 8 pre-installed. I used the instructions on this page:


https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI

After following the instructions through to the end, and having run Boot Repair twice, I am still unable to load Windows 8 from Grub. I am, however, able to load it from BIOS.

Any suggestions to fix this would be greatly appreciated. While loading Windows from the BIOS is workable, it is certainly not ideal.


Thanks in advance.



I figured out that I could fix this by simply turning off secure boot in the BIOS.
