[ubuntu] Boot Repair didn't Work

Hi,

my first post here. Have used Ubuntu/Linux on and off for several years but more an enthusiast.

Anyway sure you heard this a thousand times but here goes "I can't boot Ubuntu".

I have a laptop pre-installed with Win 7.

I installed Win 8 to dual boot with Win 7.

System is EFI, GPT partitions.

Installed Ubuntu 64-bit, it installed fine. I created a 20gb partition within windows which I left unallocated space, than installed Ubuntu to this. Chose to mount as '/'.

After installation Ubuntu added the below DUPLICATE entry to BIOS: (Is this normal? Why on earth is there a need to have this twice in Boot options?)

Ubuntu (P0 Hitachi etc.....)
Ubuntu (P0 Hitachi etc.....)

I ran boot repair which has not worked. URL is

http://paste.ubuntu.com/5685849/

And the message it gives me is:

"Locked-ESP detected. You may want to retry after creating a /boot/efi partition (FAT32, 100MB, 250MB, start of the disk boot flag). This can be performed via tools such as gParted. Then select this partition via the [Seperate /boot/efi partition] option of [Boot Repair].

So to me this is really silly that Ubuntu is now the default option in BIOS yet I only see Windows 7 and 8 to load. So Ubuntu can load my Windows Systems but not its own. I may as well change BIOS back to 'Windows Boot Manager'.

Anyway, that's the story so thanks if you can help!
