I use laptop Acer Aspire 4738. I try many solutions:

First: I have Windows 7 - 64 bit, want install Ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bit (ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso, use USB creat tools: Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.6.exe) along-side, but can't install.

Second: I have Windows 8.1 - 64 bit, want install Ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bit (ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso, use USB creat tools: Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.6.exe) along-side, but can't install.

Third: I have Windows 8.1 - 64 bit, want install Ubuntu 14.04.1 64 bit (ubuntu-14.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso, use USB creat tools: unetbootin-windows-608.exe) along-side, but can't install.

Forth: I have Windows 8.1 - 64 bit, want install Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit (ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso, use USB creat tools: Universal-USB-Installer-1.9.5.6.exe) along-side, but can't install. My intent is install version 13.10, then update to 14.04 LTS

Fifth: I have Windows 8.1 - 64 bit, want install Ubuntu 13.10 64 bit (ubuntu-13.10-desktop-amd64.iso, use USB creat tools: unetbootin-windows-608.exe) along-side, but can't install.

... and so forth... One year ago and many times ago, I install Windows 8 64 bit and Ubuntu 13.10 normally, and no problem. This time, When I install ubuntu from USB boot, there are 3 options, I try First option, but Install progress don't remember install state.

Please help me, I don't try "Install Ubuntu replace Windows", I want install Ubuntu along-side Windows. Any ideas are appreciated.(My CD/DVD driver can't burn disc, I have only USB)

Update: I try:H:\wubi.exe --force-wubi to install Ubuntu 13.10 inside Windows, successful, but I really don't like this (want dual-boot, alongside). I have been disabled Hibernate. enter image description here

Do not have enough rep to add comments

Please refer to this question here on a detailed guide on installing Ubuntu alongside Window's 8.

Now with the methods you have stated are all good and well, but you have not mentioned why you cannot install. Are you not able to get to the menu to install, does it install and not recognize etc? If you'd like, have a look at this post on my blog- (or this phenomenal link) it should demonstrate an easy guide to dual-boot with Window's 8.

Now I am in no way, shape or form an expert on Linux (so the post I did is probably really incorrect), so I will re-inforce you read up on this answer and add more details on the issue you are having with your install. Sorry I could not comment, I know this isn't an "answer".
