So I had Windows 7 and tried to dual boot and ended up writing over my Windows 7 bootloader, but I really wanna try to dual boot with Ubuntu. I now have Windows 8.1 and want to try dual booting with Ubuntu again. Is there anyone that could walk me through this? I don't wanna mess up again.

Edit: So i read up on wubi, it does not work on windows 8. I can install using it, but i cannot then reboot into, it doesnt do grub right or something.

I regularly dual-boot. Typically after installing Windows OS you have to rebuild the grub bootloader.

I install an Ubuntu Live CD and fire that up in Repair mode. You will see an option there to repair grub. Ubuntu does its thing and afterwards you get a menu to pick the OS you want to boot into.

This works. In the grub, there should be a system setup, open that and choose the windows boot manager. That will open windows.
