    i am in partman now, i chose manual. I'm using a cd kubuntu 12.10 amd 64

    i see /dev/sda2 efi, not kubuntu detects it, but it's not marked anyware B or k or whatever.
    I can create the other partitions.

    There's also a question:

    Boot loader
    Device for boot loader installation:

    And I can choose
    /dev/sda
    /dev/sda1
    /dev/sda2
    /dev/sda4
    /dev/sda5

    what does it mean? Will kubuntu use as efi partition the one that already exists?

      Take a photo of what you see right after you select "Manual." Sorry to have to do this in such a cumbersome way.

          Do what you did before -- take a photo and upload it. If you're using a camera on a smartphone, can you upload to someplace directly from your phone?

              Ah, right. The B and f bits appear when you do a text-mode install. You won't see them in the GUI installer. I never use the GUI installer so I forgot what was there!

              Let me check something. Hang on...BRB.

                  Click on free space. You'll be prompted to create a partition. Create the first partition I mentioned earlier, which is the second item in the bulleted list above -- the 50 GB EXT4 with mount point /. Then create the remaining ones in the list. Place the boot loader in /dev/sda.

                    I did it and installed kubuntu. When I boot I go to grub. Both the options for windows 8 and windows recovery enviromment do not work
                    I can get into kubuntu and I run what you said, here's the output. I could not format/create the data partition but I figure out that could be done later with GParted

                    Code:

                    I don't manage to load windows 8 dismissing grub either...

                      I manage to load windows by chosing System Setup in the grub menu, then Boot Menu -> Windows Boot Manager. I took the picture you told

                      windows doesn't seem to see that linux is there at all. I don't understand anything...

                        I've got meetings for the rest of the afternoon and a rehearsal this evening. I won't forget you -- but it'll be a bit before I can analyze your progress.

                          You might be running into a bug in GRUB. Please post the contents of the file /etc/grub.d/40_custom and /etc/default/grub

                          That one's got me stumped a bit too. What's the output of
                          Code:
                          df -T

                          Are you sure that was GRUB, and not perhaps your computer's EFI boot manager? I don't recall a "System Setup" in GRUB's menu structure. Let me see the output of

                            Not really sure. It looks like grub and I'd never seen something like this using windows 8. But I had never seen a System Setup in GRUB either.

                              That's an awfully short /etc/default/grub. Is there more to the file?

                              I forgot about another file. Let me also see /boot/grub/grub.cfg.

                              Your UEFI NVRAM variables look fine.

                              Mind taking a photo of that "System Setup" thing? Let me see both the screen that offers this, as well as the screen that appears once you select it.
