I recently dual booted Windows 8 and Ubuntu 13.04, both UEFI. When I boot, I get directly to Windows 8, without any prompt or boot menu/grub menu. To access Ubuntu, I have to go to boot options by pressing F-12
while booting. How do I get the boot menu?

This might be a problem of broken grub. Grub is basically a boot loader. In other words it is the screen that comes up with options to start Windows or Ubuntu. I had a very similar problem. In my case I had dual booted Mint and Ubuntu. To fix the grub, check this.

Yup! I got the grub menu alright, but now there is a new problem. I have 5 options, namely: 'Ubuntu', 'Advanced Options for Ubuntu', 'Windows UEFI bkpbootmgfw.efi', 'Windows boot UEFI loader' and 'System Setup'. Now, when I hit enter for Ubuntu, its all right, but when I go for Windows Boot EFI loader, the system goes for a restart. Why is it so?– RanveerJul 10, 2013 at 14:39
