I decided to dual boot Ubuntu 14.04 with Windows 8. Everything went right during the process (partitioning, installing, etc) but upon rebooting my laptop (my laptop is an HP Pavilion G6) it booted straight into Windows 8 with no GRUB menu to be seen. I attempted to use boot repair on Ubuntu and that failed; I also tried to change the boot order in the BIOS although I'm not really sure what I'm doing there so I don't know if I did it right or not.
Some help would be brilliant as I'm not sure how to go about getting the GRUB menu back!
Your problem is most likely solved by the official documentation in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI.
Some things to examine closely including the window 'faststart', and indeed the Bios boot order. You want to load the grub boot loader (Ubuntu) first, and from there you can choose to boot Windows 8, or continue with booting Ubuntu.
