I just got a Lenovo X1 Carbon and I am flabbergasted on dual booting -- having the record in the boot manager.

###Cliff Notes

• It came with Windows 8.1.
• I shrunk the Windows partition (within windows disk management)
• I installed Ubuntu via USB
• The installation is good, but the boot loaders are wrong

###Things I've tried:

• I have BIOS in Both Legacy/EUFI mode, Legacy First
• Using EasyBCD, adding an Ubuntu Record and Saving the "Deployment" (Did nothing)
• Turned off Secure Boot (Wasn't on)
• Quick Boot is still on (Does this matter? Shows Lenovo logo rather than the normal PC startup info)
• Reinstalled Grub2 Bootloader (Successfull install via link)

###The Only Way it Works

• If I set BIOS to Legacy only, but then Windows won't work.

I don't care which boot loader runs, I prefer Grub but don't really care I just want the option to boot to either. Does anyone know what I can do? :)
