while ago I bought a acer aspire e1 laptop with windows 8 on one partition, yesterday I installed ubuntu 12.10 and fedora 18 but when booting up I don't see ubuntu and fedora OS to select, it takes me straight to windows 8.
In the BIOS boot order menu there is windows boot manager and fedora (there was ubuntu but after installing fedora, there is only fedora and windows boot manager. probably boot record has been overwritten )
when I changed boot order to fedora first, fedora grub shows up and it has Ubuntu and Fedora but no windows 8.
I installed a program called easyBCD and it shows all 3 operating systems on boot loader.
There are a total of 4 entries listed in the bootloader.
Default: HDD:
Timeout: 30 seconds
EasyBCD Boot Device: C:\
Entry #1
Name: Fedora
BCD ID: {301264ca-bb10-11e2-bead-806e6f6e6963}
Device: \Device\HarddiskVolume10

Entry #2
