yesterday I installed ubuntu 14.04 in my windows 8.1(preinstalled) lenovo 14R willing to dual boot it with windows 8.1.I created a different partition and a 2gb partition for swap. Though i did NOT DISABLE FAST BOOT of windows 8. I am a new linux user and I have no idea of fixing it. Now I can only boot Ubuntu and when I choose windows boot manager (instead of ubuntu in the begining) i see this screen:

/EndEntire file path: /ACPI(a0341d0,0)/PCI(0,13)/Sata(0,0,0)/HD(2,1f4800,82000, 03b335deed640d49,2,2)/File(\EFI\Microsoft\Boot)/File(bootmgfw.efi)/EndEntire error: cannot load image Press any key to continue. . .

i followed the instructions of this video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOz66FC0pWU

The only thing that was different was that at 8:40 there wasn't anything like dev/sda1/windows 8(loader) in the menu that is in the video.

Thank you in advance for your help.

I watched the video and i would recommend to anyone unfamiliar with hard drive partitions and master boot records not to attempt this.

From what i saw the guy presenting this video was installing a virtual box (An operating system inside an operating system). That may have given him a different context for the installation. What i suspect is that because you could not specify NOT to overwrite the windows "boot record", well it did scrapping your windows 8 install.

You may want to google file recovery software and use windows 7 with the ubuntu option to install alongside windows instead of doing the part of partitioning windows/linux yourself.
