Installing Linux on Windows 8 UEFI Secure Boot System
468How to install Linux onto a Windows 8 UEFI Secure Boot system.
From late 2012 onwards all PC Manufacturers wanting to receive a Windows 8 compatible sticker must implement Secure Boot on their systems, this prevents most Linux Distros from being installed.
At time of recording (02 Feb 2013) there are only three Linux Distros certified by Microsoft to install on a Secure Boot system, these are: Ubuntu 12.10, Ubuntu 13.04, and Fedora 18.
Canonical and Red Hat have paid the MS Fee to allow their systems to be installed on and able to boot with UEFI Secure boot.
If you are trying to install another Linux distribution you might be able to disable the Secure Boot in the UEFI Bios, and I show an example with an ASUS FM2 motherboard.
