[Bug 1322109] [NEW] Tried to install Ubuntu (dualboot with Windows 8) manually because the installer has not detected Windows 8.

[Guillaume]

Public bug reported:

I found a tutorial on internet that explains how to do the partitions
manually if the installer doesn't detect Windows 8, but according to the
tutorial, no matter about what we select for the boot program during the
installation, since the UEFI partition exists, the installer should know
what to do with it. But finally it crashed :( Maybe The installer cannot
detect Windows 8 but my computer is not UEFI anyway ?
