I have a HP Pavilion-15-n004tx laptop. It supports UEFI. However when i installed Windows 8 on it, i disabled the UEFI and installed the Windows in Legacy BIOS mode. I wanted to dual boot it with Ubuntu 13.10. I read the Instructions from this link.

Now when i tried the live USB then in 'Try Ubuntu without installing' mode , i got the error saying that 'Your system is running in low graphics'. I tried Troubleshooting the problem after reading many questions from this site. They implied that i had to first install the Ubuntu and then open it in Recovery mode.

So when i tried Installing Ubuntu, everything worked fine and Ubuntu 13.10 was successfully installed on my system but when i rebooted the computer then i didn't get any GRUB menu and Windows 8 started automatically. So i made live USB of BOOT-REPAIR and ran it. But it didn't solve the problem as instead of GRUB menu, Windows 8 started automatically like before. How can i get the GRUB menu to select between Windows and Ubuntu.

I am attaching the boot-info summary given by Boot-Repair. Additionally i am uploading the result of 'msinfo32' command in Windows. I am also uploading the Screen obtained while installation of Ubuntu at 'Something Else'.

I would be really obliged to anyone who can help me solve this problem. Thanks in advance.

PS: I am unable to attach Photos so i am providing the links . Thanks!

The link for Boot Info Summary is : Boot Info Log

Try to install grub on your / partition by running these commands on terminal(Ubuntu live disk),

sudo mount /dev/sda7 /mnt
sudo grub-install --root-directory=/mnt /dev/sda

It will install grub on your root /dev/sda7 partition.
