Acknowledging the rest of the thread wherein it's explained that what 
you're probably toggling is actually BIOS emulation in the (U)EFI - 
13.04 supports installations that boot in EFI mode. Dual booting is 
trickier, but the second bit of this page (which is also linked 
elsehwere in this thread) explains how to do that:
