To quote Luis' answer: So with all of this said, installing Ubuntu via WUBI is not doable (not recommended at least from me), things like trying to boot for example with the Windows 8 bootloader are not possible right now unless something changes in the future (There are also some bugs related to this in launchpad, like the one mentioned by bcbc). That's the 3rd paragraph. To quote the second bullet in the directions: You are not installing Ubuntu inside of Windows 8 but rather alongside of it. Inside of it is impossible because it needs Wubi which is unsupported.

| Aug 28, 2014 at 7:56 | comment | added | Eliah Kagan | Richard, @Braiam: Even before the latest edit, the question did not specify using Wubi as goal, only that it's what the OP had tried. Are you actually saying none of the answers to that question explain how to install Ubuntu with its own partitions (i.e., non-Wubi)? Is Luis's answer not a guide to doing exactly that? My impression is that dupes to that question have been helping many people dual boot Windows 8 and (non-Wubi) Ubuntu. | |
| Aug 28, 2014 at 4:09 | comment | added | Braiam | I hate to sound like a broken recorder but it's because people don't read fully the questions and prefer just to lazily mark as duplicates. | |
