Hi everyone,
I have recently bought a new HP laptop, with the dreaded windows 8 pre installed. Naturally, I went to install ubuntu 12.04 in a duel boot.
I ran the installation and went along with the standard settings, i didnt make any adjustments. When i went to restart the pc, there was no grub loader giving me the option of loading either OS, instead windows 8 loaded as it did before.
I then restarted again but pressed ESC to choose ubuntu from a 'boot manager' list, which then gave me the grub loader.
I would rather have the grub loader come up straight away after starting the laptop.
I then went back to windows and installed something called EasyBCD to give me the options to make adjustments to the boot order. I then went to try and create a new boot order, ive tried all the ones that are offered, and none of them work apart form the windows 8 option.
Can someone help with this? i just want grub loader to load without all this other nonsense
Thank you
