[ubuntu] Dual booting Ubuntu 12.10 and Windows 8

Hello,

I've recently bought a new laptop: HP DV6 7295ex, with a pre-installed version of Windows 8 (64 bits).

After installing Ubuntu 12.10 (64 bits) and running Boot-Repair (separate boot partition: /dev/sda6), I could boot to Ubuntu but not to Windows (incorrect entries: errors related to drivemap and incorrect EFI path). I've tried to manually add a couple of entries, but to no avail.

Note that everything is UEFI (firmware, Windows and Ubuntu installations), and I disabled SecureBoot from the BIOS.

I tried once to create a new Microsoft/Boot/ folder in /boot/efi, and manually added bootmgfw.efi in that folder (I copied it from [Windows partition]/Windows/Boot/EFI/). That added an entry to Grub, which led me to a Windows 8 error page (error code 0x00000f, files corrupted or not found, don't remember).

I have also attached a screenshot of gparted below.

Does anybody know what's wrong with my setup, and how to fix it?
