  HP G6 laptop with Windows 8 installed, and looking to have a dual-boot
  with Ubuntu 12.10

  grub-efi fails writing on the original ESP:

  **************** WORKAROUND:
  1) via Gparted create another EFI partition (FAT32, 200MB, located in the first 100GB of the disk), move the 'boot' flag on it
  2) make Ubuntu use this new ESP (eg via Boot-Repair).

  Example: http://paste.ubuntu.com/1442264

  *************** Computers that come with a locked ESP:
  - HP G6 laptop: see original bug description
