Ive found this useful
http://askubuntu.com/questions/221835/installing-ubuntu-on-a-pre-installed-windows-8-64-bit-system-uefi-supported
[How much it will be useful to you I dont know]
Some of it is ubuntu specific.
Much is about what to do in windows-8 to prepare it for dual boot setup.
Two things missing there are:
a. Need to use gdisk (and family) rather than the traditional partitioners
b. Need to create a grub partition
