Only Erease Disk and Something else options when installing Ubuntu along Windows 8
Matthew Martinez
How do I install Ubuntu 13.10 and dual boot Windows 8.1 pro? When I boot the installation USB I only get 2 options: "Erase disk and install Ubuntu 13.10", or "Something else". I tried "something else" but I don't know how to install it on a partition.

If you choose something else option it will directs you to select the partition in which you want to install ubuntu.And also force you to choose the linux-swap partition size.
Please allocate linux-swap partition size by following this link.
5Ubuntu 13.10 detected win8 but, i had to shrink win8 partition before: I think ubuntu only detects win8 when there's free space without partition.
