I have the exact same problem. I've recently been trying to dual boot windows 8 and ubuntu. I remember in the beginning easybcd did work, but after installing and then figuring out to uninstall the wubi version of ubuntu (I'm not exactly sure what I did), now easybcd doesn't load at all when I click on it. I've tried running bootrec /fixboot and bootrec /fixmbr from the windows installation disk, but to no avail. Can somebody help me on this please? Thanks.
