 I like drifting, but I have to go WRC. Putting a car where it doesn't belong feels right, like combining together drill motors and power window motors and putting them on a big patch of carpet.

Issues Dual-Booting Ubuntu and Windows 8.1
Hey everyone,
I came here because I figured this community could help me out best with this problem. I recently purchased a Windows 8.1 (w. Bing) laptop to do school and FRC work on. After installing Ubuntu and totally botching up 8.1 (partitioned hard drive wrong), ordered a new copy of 8.1 to install, seeing as I need Windows to run certain FRC-related programs. After it installed successfully, everything seemed fine. However, I later noticed that when booting up 8.1 through the Ubuntu dual-boot menu the resolution was locked in 800 x 600. I do not have this issue when booting up directly into Windows, but it gets annoying after a while to have to go back into BIOS and switch boot priorities whenever I want to change OSs. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this to happen and/or have a clue of how to fix it?

Re: Issues Dual-Booting Ubuntu and Windows 8.1
Do some searching into the UEFI issues with dual-booting your laptop's model # and you may find something.
Also, was there a specific reason to not single-boot and use something like VirtualBox to start the other OS on demand?
