Ubuntu 14.10 dual boot with preinstalled Windows 8

I wanted to install Ubuntu with my VAIO laptop with preinstalled Windows 8. So I downloaded the ISO image of ubuntu-14.10-desktop-amd64 and extracted to my USB drive with Universal USB installer. I allocated 50gb from my HDD for Ubuntu by partitioning it as a new volume. Then I turned off Secure Boot in my BIOS and changed the mode from UEFI to LEGACY mode. Then I installed Ubuntu in that 50Gb drive successfully and it said INSTALLATION COMPLETED. PLEASE RESTART.


I restarted my laptop and it said OPERATING SYSTEM NOT FOUND !!! I tried changing Secure Boot, UEFI/LEGACY mode and nothing worked. Only Windows 8 boots up in my laptop. Ubuntu didn't even showed up in my boot menu. What did I do wrong here? IS there any possibility that I will get to use Windows 8 and Ubuntu along side? Please help me
