A possible workaround is to set up a memory stick to boot and install Linux on that. My local hardware vendor sells 64GB Kingston memory sticks for less than $50. I haven't moved to Windows 8 yet, but I'm thinking of losing my dual-boot setup in favour of the stick approach. To paraphrase Teddy Roosevelt, "speak Linux and carry a Big Stick." Ubuntu provides detailed instructions on how to boot from a stick, but of course it depends on your BIOS supporting that option.
