When installing 12.04.2 on my new windows 8 computer with efi, it doesn't detect that there is an operating system already on the hard drive. How do I get the install dvd to detect windows 8? If it makes a difference, I had some guy at the computer store custom make my pc for me.

could you try shrinking your windows partition from within windows and then using a costom install option to create your partitions manually, altho that seems a bit advanced for you. Im guessing you are new to this.
maybe these will help
