Hi I have windows 8.1 x64 and it boots in legacy mode. I wanted to install Ubuntu on the same drive as windows is installed, with custom partition layout (just added one / partition for linux). Second drive is for data only. Both are new drives and ubuntu was installed just after windows install. In terminal below slideshow, some error was displayed about the ubiquity package - something like "file doesn't exist", and then grub install error and installation failed and then submit error dialog apeared. After that I installed ubuntu LTS 12.04.3 x64 with no errors, however grub menu didin't show automaticly after reboot.
