    hello everyone
    i booted into ubuntu in the y500 by doing the following

    -made a 12.10 live cd

    - went to bios
    turned secure boot off
    switched UEFI boot to legacy
    changed boot priority so that optical disk some first
    rebooted in to live cd

    = used gparted to resize a the 800 gb partition made a new 50 gb partition

    installed ubuntu by picking something else and choosing the 50 gb partition

    after install
    installed boot repair in live cd
    ran boot repair
    in bios switched win8 64 optimization (on the last page) to other os

    and booted to ubuntu!

    i am sure there is a better way to do this but this was the way i did it
