I tried to install Ubuntu 12.10 alongside Windows 8, but when I get to the installation type screen I don't have any option for installing alongside Windows 8. Ubuntu says I have no other operating systems and my partitions appear as free space. What can I do?

Install ubuntu on that partion using advanced installation available on the installer normal. Are you sure you did nothing unusual with your windows installation? – Thomas15v Feb 23 at 19:32
