Hey everyone,
I have a strange issue with my laptop, I was installing Windows 8 and everything goes fine. Then it asks me finally :Choose your operating System:
Windows 8
Ubuntu" which is normal, so I pick Windows 8. It starts booting, and BOOM! "The computer restarted unexpectedly or encountered an unexpected error. Windows Installation cannot proceed. To install Windows, click "OK" to restart the computer, and then restart the installation.". So I restart, and the same ting happens over and over again. And when I go to BIOS Settings to boot from CD/DVD/HDD...etc. Nothing happens, as if I restarted the PC again only. Ubuntu works, but I can't boot into Windows and I have several projects going on and I need to finish those.
P.S If you ask me why installing Windows at this time, it's because my Release Preview will end soon.
Edit: And even the memtest.exe and Repair Disc did not work either.
Edit (again): Safe Mode does not boot either and I tried opening the setup from Ubuntu but it just doesn't work, even with Wine.

Format your harddisk and install Ubuntu.

Hint: EFI.
In short, you misunderstood the whole topic.

Guys, I was upgrading from Windows 8 Release Preview to Windows 8 Pro. I already had Windows 8 RP and Ubuntu dualbooted together without any problems. But after the installation my laptop won't read any disc when booting, and I cannot boot to Windows, only Ubuntu.

Fine, again.
I was upgrading my Windows.
Installed and finished.
It rebooted.
In the middle of booting to Windows the error mentioned appeared.
So I clicked OK. It rebooted.
The same happened
And btw, the Windows 8 Setup was a file downloaded, not a disc since my lens was not working properly to read discs.
So Windows Repair disc and memtest did not work either.
I can boot into Ubuntu but I can't boot into Windows, because, well I told you why,
