Sorry if this is a stupid query, but I spent ages getting the Samsung NP905S3G to boot from usb and eventually got it to work. Wanted to try a dual-boot alongside windows 8 first and the install seemed to work but I now can't figure out how to boot the laptop in ubuntu without the usb. It keeps starting in windows no matter how I configure the BIOS. Any help welcome. Thanks

Edited to explain further : I think Ubuntu has installed successfully. My problem now is getting it to boot.

You need to install Grub on your boot partition to make your computer a dual boot, open Ubuntu from the installation disk and go to terminal and input:

sudo fdisk -l

To learn which partition is the boot loader, in this example it's sda1.

and enter this command:

sudo mount /dev/sda1 /mnt

then this command:

sudo mount --bind /dev /mnt/dev

then this command

sudo chroot /mnt

then this command

grub-install /dev/sda

then this command

update-grub
