In my opinion, I'd like to suggest you UNetbootin. Try to reinstal with UNetbootin

    You can try this guide for dual booting Ubuntu with Windows 8.



    Chainloading Ubuntu from Windows 7/8 can be done using either:




    1. Ubuntu's boot sector file "boot.img" or

    2. installing Ubuntu's boot loader to partition


    and chaining it with a Windows boot sector loader.
