Did you read the EULA? Did you ask permission from your friend or from Microsoft?
And hell no! Who has time to read those? Seriously..

It can't be via WUBI if Ubuntu boots but Windows does not.
I suspect the link I posted has an answer. It seems to be a known issue: dual boot Ubuntu with Windows, breaks upon upgrading Windows to W8.
Then again this seems to be a case of pebkac

Well, I had an idea to mount the setup to cd drive so I can boot from it, but Ubuntu won't mount it to CD/DVD Drive which makes it difficult. Anyway I can restart the installation?

So, let's remove Grub first, it ****ed up your whole installation. Download and burn the Ultimate Boot CD and boot it. Select HDD, Boot Management, Super GRUB disk. Type:
The sh*tload of ('s aren't mine idea...
Now you've only got Windows. Feels good, huh? No, it shouldn't. We're goin' to install GRUB again.
Start from a Live CD and start the terminal. From there, mount the partition Ubuntu is installed on. You don't know? sudo fdisk -l.
. Now reboot (sudo shutdown -r now) and remove the cd. Ubuntu will start from the HDD. In the terminal:
. If it ****s your Windows up again, you should try Ubuntu 12.10, I think it has a newer Win8 compatible GRUB.
EDIT: You shouldn't use Windows 8 btw, I know you're a child, but Metro is a playground for 4 year olds... Even I (14 years) think that, so...
Code:
Win => MBR & !WIN! :(((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((
