[Bug 1200287] [NEW] reinstall on dual boot windows 8 uefi system

[Tom O'Hare]

Public bug reported:

Half way through the re-install (Ubuntu 13.04) I get a grub error
message described as 'fatal'. I've tried twice.

My partition structure is probably wrong (I got a message about this
when I tried simple re-install) but I adjusted it and pressed next and
there was no indication that anything was wrong.

System is a small Asus Vivo S200 notebook with UEFI and Windows 8.

Thanks for any advice,
Tom O'Hare
PS 1st instal was successful but Ubuntu was not presented as an option when I restarted.
