'Fixing' the windows 8 bootloader

[Earthson]

you may install a grub on your usb-driver. And boot from usb-driver, you
would see grub2. you can boot your linux using grub~ then reinstall grub to
bootmbr with command "grub-install".

you can find more information from Google or something else.


   1. mount usb-driver just like this: mount /dev/sdb /media/usboot
   2. install grub2 to usb-driver: grub-install
   --root-directory=/media/usboot /dev/sdb
   3. install your win8
   4. set BIOS to boot from your usb-driver
   5. into grub shell:
   >set root=(hd1,msdos3) #may be some else, it is partition "/boot" in.
   >linux /boot/vmluz root=/dev/sda3 #or something else which is "/"
   partition
   >initrd /boot/initrd.img #using tab, you can find it
   >boot
   6. then you boot into your linux system.
   7. install grub with grub-install command #like step 2
   8. update your grub with command update-grub
